About this product
Product Information
A tender and provocative debut novel about a mixed-race British woman who makes the shocking discovery in the days leading up to her wedding that her fiancé's family may have enslaved her ancestors "Simultaneously sweet and sobering, this is one you will not want to miss."--Onyi Nwabineli, author of Someday, Maybe Dominoes opens in London, twenty-nine days before a young couple's wedding. Layla is a mixed-race woman--with a Black, Jamaican mother, and a white father she's never met--and Andy is a white man of Scottish descent. When they first meet at a party, they can't believe how instant their chemistry is, and how quickly their relationship unfolds. Funnily enough, they even share a last name: McKinnon. Layla's best friend, Sera, isn't 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: It's extremely likely that Andy's ancestors enslaved Layla's in Jamaica, and that the money from that enslavement helped build his family's 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 imagined--or had simply learned to ignore. The process takes her to Jamaica for the first time, where she uncovers truths about her family's 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.

" Dominoes insists that love is an action, a transformation, a reckoning to be cherished and chosen above fear, memory, and even, history. These richly drawn characters of McIntosh's world offer readers an unforgettable story of intimacy, humor, pain, and healing. Vulnerable and vibrant, Dominoes is a radiant debut, shining with complexity and compassion for the bonds of family and friendship that give our lives purpose." --Rachel Eliza Griffiths , author of Promise "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, author of Again, Rachel, " Dominoes insists that love is an action, a transformation, a reckoning to be cherished and chosen above fear, memory, and even history.

A stirring story with strong, complex characters that delves into the legacy of Britain's slave trade while interrogating love, friendship and identity. Simultaneously sweet and sobering, this is one you will not want to miss." --Onyi Nwabineli, author of Someday, Maybe "Cracking dialogue, fascinating storyline, compelling characters, and more. I loved this book." --Jacqueline Crooks, author of Fire Rush "A timely and tender story about a young woman caught up in a sweet romance, who finds herself grappling with the idea that love, too, is political to its very core." --Ayesha Manazir Siddiqi, author of The Centre "McIntosh adds depth and nuance to a concept that's fascinated humans for centuries: the eternal search for self and knowing where you come from. She raises important questions about allyship, belonging, and intergenerational trauma. The writing is sharp and vulnerable, and Dominoes gripped me until the final page." --Georgina Lawton, author of Raceless, " Dominoes insists that love is an action, a transformation, a reckoning to be cherished and chosen above fear, memory, and even history.
