Our first review from the beautifully crafted collection  titled ,"African Love Stories : Anthology by Ama Ata Aidoo which comprises 21 short stories by women, that span across the African continent – from Egypt to South Africa.

This first story, titled Something Old, Something New by Leila Leila Aboulela, introduces two main characters ;a young Sudanese Muslim woman  and a white Muslim man from Edinburgh , and how they allow for love to grow and bind them together despite the whirlwind worlds they each come from.A definite refreshingly calming look at how the true nature of love is away from the traditional romantic, unrealistic, happily-ever-after setting that most fairy tales have.A new modern tale to love .
