Overview
āSimultaneously sweet and sobering, this is one you will not want to miss.āāOnyi Nwabineli, author of Someday, Maybe
Dominoes opens in London, twenty-nine days before a young coupleās wedding. Layla is a mixed-race womanāwith a Black, Jamaican mother, and a white father sheās never metāand Andy is a white man of Scottish descent. When they first meet at a party, they canāt believe how instant their chemistry is, and how quickly their relationship unfolds. Funnily enough, they even share a last name: McKinnon.
Laylaās best friend, Sera, isnāt so sure about Andy, or the fact that her best friend is engaged a white man. As the wedding approaches, Sera prompts her friend to research her heritage more, leading Layla to make a shocking discovery: Itās extremely likely that Andyās ancestors enslaved Laylaās in Jamaica, and that the money from that enslavement helped build his familyās wealth.
What seemed like a fairy-tale romance is suddenly derailed as Layla begins to uncover parts of her history and identity that she never imaginedāor had simply learned to ignore. The process takes her to Jamaica for the first time, where she uncovers truths about her familyās history that will change the way she thinks about herself and her future. As the clock ticks down to her wedding, Layla must make a decision: commit to the man she loves or expose a shameful history that has gone unspoken for far too long.
