Love in Colour: 'So rarely is love expressed this richly, this vividly, or this artfully.' Candice Carty-Williams

A high-born Nigerian goddess is feels beaten down and unappreciated by her gregarious lover and longs to be truly seen.

A young businesswoman attempts to make a great leap in her company, and an even greater one in her love life.

A powerful Ghanaian spokeswoman is forced to decide whether to uphold her family's politics, or to be true to her heart.

Whether captured in the passion of love at first sight, or realising that self-love takes precedent over the latter, the character's in Bolu Babalola's vibrant stories face up to and navigate this most complex human emotion and try to capture it's intangible essence. Bolu takes a step in decolonising tropes of love and creates new stories inspired by the wildly beautiful and astonishingly diverse tales of romance and desire that already exist in so many communities and cultures.

Transporting across continents and perspectives, this collection shows that humanity - like love - comes in technicolour.
