They Dream In Gold

‘A mouth-watering delight . . . subtle yet striking’ – Sarah Jessica Parker ‘One of the most beautiful debuts I’ve ever read’ – Dawnie Walton, author of The Final Revival of Opal & Nev ‘A sweeping, fascinating book about identity and families’ – The Times Two dreamers. One love story. A world of sound. Bonnie and Mansour are meant to be: two children separated from their mothers from opposite sides of the Black Atlantic, who find each other in New York in 1968 and set about making music that will change the world . . . As they travel together from New York to Paris, to Rio and Switzerland, Mansour’s music forges connections and breaks new ground. Soon it seems as though fame and unimaginable riches are only a heartbeat away. But suddenly Mansour is missing. And Bonnie, pregnant with his child, sets out to find him. In Mai Sennaar’s sparkling debut They Dream in Gold , Bonnie and Mansour’s story takes us across oceans and continents as we chart their once-in-a-lifetime love. ‘A glorious debut . . . a richly layered account of artistic endeavour and resilience.’ – Guardian ‘Extraordinary’ – The New York Times – ASIN: 1035033704 | ISBN13: 9781035033706 | ISBN-13: 978-1035033706
