Ghalen, a brilliant young Black man, is the son of two seemingly mismatched parents. His mother, a gifted scientist, whose own mother expected her to exceed all the achievements in her family, and his father, a gentle cook at a small vegan restaurant, whose idiosyncratic nature shows the young woman a radically different love and understanding of life, despite his inexperience and lack of education.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHis parents’ grand love story starts it all off, setting us up to follow Ghalen and his family so deeply, that each new twist and turn feels personal. The journey through Ghalen’s coming-of-age tale, as he ventures out into the world, is marked with peaks and valleys and such a drive that you can’t help but strap in for it all, while not wanting it to end. Lush and cinematic, with the narrative drive and indelible power of Barbara Kingsolver’s Demon Copperhead and Paul Murray’s The Bee Sting, Ghalen is one of this bestselling, prize-winning writer’s finest achievements.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hardback","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55598078460280,"sku":"9780063451551","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0409\/6671\/7600\/files\/9780063451551.jpg?v=1783422296","url":"https:\/\/afroribooks.co.uk\/products\/ghalen-a-romance-in-black-by-walter-mosley-published-16-july-2026","provider":"Afrori Books LTD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
