Love in Colour by Bolu Babalola is a beautiful edition of re-told folklore and world myths, each cured and enhanced with an added touch of love and color. In this well-crafted work Babalola uses lush diction to capture the various tensions of desire in its incarnations as passionate, illicit, and long-lasting. Essentially, this book lays a superbly multicultural approach to love, tradition, and the significance of narrative.
