'A great book! A warm, fun, sweet, love story - which is also about
the British slave trade and its legacy. I found it
thought-provoking and humbling and I really CARED about the
characters. Unusual and hopeful' MARIAN KEYES A tender, smart,
conversation-starting love story which explores questions of
identity and the legacy of the slave-trade in 21st-century Britain
When Layla and Andy first meet, they can't believe they share the
same surname. It feels like fate, almost too romantic to be true.
But Sera, Layla's best friend, has her doubts about Andy. As the
pair fall deeper and deeper in love, she becomes more and more
vocal about Layla settling down with a white boy. And then, only a
few weeks before their wedding, Layla discovers the possible truth
behind their shared surname. What seemed like a fairy-tale romance
is rapidly derailed. In part propelled by Sera's rising anger,
Layla begins to uncover parts of her history and identity that she
had never imagined -- or, perhaps, had simply learnt to ignore.
