Synopsis

'A beautiful collection that I both lost and found myself in. Unbelievably exciting stories from some show-stoppingly talented writers.' Candice Carty-Williams, author of Queenie.

Lost love. Forbidden Love. Unrequited love. Tenderness. Desire. Romance. Passion.

Who's Loving You? is a celebration of love in all its guises written by women of colour, with ten original short stories from bold new voices, literary prize-winners and national treasures.

Two souls come together and are torn apart, lifetime after lifetime. A seed of hope begins to grow out of the ashes of grief, heartbreak and loss. Romance sparks in the most unexpected of places. And an unbreakable bond is formed that transcends countries, continents and even the boundaries of time...

In this extraordinary collection, ten writers explore the full spectrum of love in all its messy, joyful, agonising and exhilarating forms. Celebrating and centring the romance, passion and desire of women of colour, these stories burn with an intensity and longing that lingers long after the final page.

WHO'S LOVING US? LET US SHOW YOU...

About Kelechi Okafor

Kelechi Okafor is a Nigerian-born, London-based lover of words-whether that's crafting works of fiction, articles, stageplays or screenplays; from directing others on stage to expressing her thoughts on society one episode at a time alongside esteemed interview guests on her award-winning former podcast Say Your Mind. In February 2024, Kelechi launched her new subscription-based channel on her website, Keleidoscope. No matter what form Kelechi's creativity takes, her work remains rooted in globally relevant conversations and events, framed through a lens of understanding that is firmly anti-colonial, anti-white-supremacy and anti-heteropatriarchy. Keleidoscope serves both as a personal exploration, and as a way to build a community that is challenged to think critically. Known online as @Kelechnekoff, Kelechi also affectionately known as "just a Baby Girl" by her followers, listeners and community. Kelechi's path has been forged in the flames left by writers like Flora Nwapa, Toni Morrison, Octavia Butler, bell hooks, Audre Lorde and Chika Unigwe, deities like Oshun and Yemoja, and countless other voices from the past and present.

Goodreads review by luce (cry bebè's back from hiatus) on January 23, 2023

Who's Loving You? is a wonderfully inclusive collection that sadly falls into the common pitfalls of short story collections: some stories are good, others not so much. Each story in Who's Loving You? was written and focuses on women of colour (most of them British). You could definitely tell that m......more

Who's Loving You is a collection of ten love stories by Women of Colour. The major theme of the book is love, love in all forms and I think that is what I enjoyed most about this collection- the mixed bag of chips. Of the ten stories my favorites were: LONG DISTANCE by Varaidzo RANI by Amma Saleem RA......more

Goodreads review by safiyareads on January 20, 2021

This is a strong collection of stories that explore different forms of romantic love. They were full of depth and nuance, with a varied range of personalities so that readers are bound to relate on some level. I chuckled to myself a few times, smiled and nodded along, and I also had a tear in my eye......more

Goodreads review by Frances on March 20, 2021

I did NOT want this to end. What a beautiful, heart-capturing collection of short stories. Each one stood strong on its own, but as a collection it left me feeling so many things. Kudos to Sareeta Domingo for perfecting the order of the stories, and for embracing a really diverse set of characters a......more

Goodreads review by Ade on October 27, 2023

1.5 - ‘Women of colour can write about more than trauma' OK so why didn't they !!! This book was full of trauma and was not romantic in the slightest- I'm shocked at what is considered romance - none of the relationships presented were healthy or swoon worthy.....most were just sad and toxic. The au......more
