'A warm sweet love story and a thought-provoking examination of the British slave trade and
its legacy' MARIAN KEYES When Layla and Andy first meet they can't believe they have the
same surname. It feels like fate... until they realise their families could be linked in the
worst possible way. Sera Layla's best friend has her doubts about Andy right from the
start. As the couple fall deeper in love and start to plan their future Sera becomes more and
more vocal about Layla settling down with a white boy. And then only a few weeks before their
wedding Layla makes a devastating discovery.... What seemed like a fairy-tale romance is
rapidly derailed as Layla begins to uncover parts of her history and identity that she had
never imagined - or perhaps had simply learnt to ignore. And now she faces an impossible
choice between past and future friendship and marriage the personal and the political. **
