Repercussions of one's actions are often not realized for many
moons. Usually, such retorts result in minor inconveniences that
merely mar the soul and bruise one's pride. However, when
repercussions run afoul, evil in its purest form reveals her
damning desire to push one over the edge. These are those stories.
Repercussions run Rampant, tales of revenge, regret, and
retribution. No one is safe as the darkness within guides one's
will and chooses the path to follow.
CAPTIVATING LOVE STORIES CELEBRATED AND RETOLD THE SUNDAY TIMES
BESTSELLER AND GLOBAL HIT As seen on BBC2 Between the Covers
'Perfection in short story form. So rarely is love expressed this
richly, this vividly, or this artfully.' CANDICE CARTY-WILLIAMS
'Beautifully written and full of joy. Bolu Babalola is a star.' MEG
CABOT 'Here is love as freedom, love as deep joy. Romance will
never be dead, as long as Bolu is writing it.' JESSIE BURTON
__________ Bolu Babalola takes the most beautiful love stories from
history and mythology and rewrites them with incredible new detail
and vivacity in her debut collection. Focusing on the magical
folktales of West Africa, Babalola also reimagines iconic Greek
myths, ancient legends from the Middle East, and stories from
countries that no longer exist in our world. A high-born Nigerian
goddess 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
characters in these vibrant stories try to navigate this most
complex human emotion and understand why it holds them hostage.
Moving exhilaratingly across perspectives, continents and genres,
from the historic to the vividly current, Love in Colour is a
celebration of romance in all of its forms. __________ PRAISE FOR
LOVE IN COLOUR: 'Captivating.' Vice 'Smart and joyful, witty and
heartbreaking.' Stylist 'Epic.' Bustle 'Vibrant.' Refinery29
'Brilliant and beautiful.' Net-a-Porter

beurt gebroke op Ansje se drumpel staan? Boonop wonder sy of die
