This is a story collection with a difference.
Each of the finely crafted tales form a sequence of linking perspectives, involving a fresh mix of racial voices. From the gritty raw narrator of title story, 'Dominoes', where the protagonist describes the constant tit for tat, gang warfare mentality of both his family and social environment, to the comi-tragic reminescence of 'Johnny Too Lie', and the realism of 'Bhangra Girls and Bhangra Boys' - and many more besides, this is a unique collection in that each of the narrators are known, in some way to each other - but from their racial standpoints, their angle on their stories often presents a whole different perspective of the same event.
Funny, lighthearted at times, darker at others, this collection truly reflects the society we live in today. Prejudice lives on, and can come from the most unlikely quarters, but there are also strong bonds between the most unlikely teenagers, too. More than anything 'Dominoes' gives true and authentic voice to adolescents from all cultures growing up in urban Britain today.
