This fourth episode, is the first in a Black Love x BHM mini-series, in celebration of Black History Month, here in the U.K. Through this series I’ll explore stories of Black love in historical fiction, spanning a whole host of different geographies, time periods, characters and types of love. The mini-series kicks off with a review of His Treasure by Kiru Taye. This is a historical romance set in South Eastern Nigeria, pre-colonisation. It is the first book in the three part Men of Valour series. I discuss why I might start giving historical fiction a closer look, friendship as a foundation of marriage, and the types of themes that can completely ruin a book for me. This episode has a trigger/ content warning as I make reference to sexual assault.
