Description
A vibrant collection of love stories, this book retells myths, folktales, and histories from across the world—reimagining familiar romances through the lens of marginalized women and decolonized storytelling. From a Nigerian goddess yearning to be truly seen, to a Ghanaian spokeswoman torn between family politics and her own heart, each tale follows characters as they risk vulnerability, agency, and transformation in matters of love. Bolu Babalola’s signature blend of lyrical prose and magical realism brings West African folklore and beyond to vivid life, while also reshaping Greek and Middle Eastern legends with fresh emotional depth. Across continents and genres, these stories celebrate romance in all its forms—tender, fierce, complicated, and ultimately empowering.
