‘A warm, sweet love story and a challenging examination of the British slave trade and its legacy’ MARIAN KEYES

When Layla and Andy meet for the first time, they can't believe they have the same surname. It seems like destiny... until they realize that their families could be connected in the worst possible way.

Layla's best friend, Sera, has doubts about Andy from the start. As the couple falls deeper in love and starts planning their future, Sera expresses increasing concerns about the possibility of Layla settling down with a white man.

And then, just a few weeks before their wedding, Layla discovers something devastating... What seemed like a fairytale romantic story is overturned as Layla begins to uncover aspects of her history and identity that she had never imagined—or perhaps just learned to ignore.

And now, she faces an impossible choice, between past and future, friendship and marriage, the personal and the political.
