Description
'A mouth-watering delight . . . subtle yet striking' - Sarah Jessica Parker
'One of the most beautiful debuts I’ve ever read — musical, magical, and full of tenderness' - Dawnie Walton, author of The Final Revival of Opal & Nev
TWO DREAMERS. ONE LOVE STORY. A WORLD OF SOUND.
Bonnie and Mansour are meant to be: two children abandoned by 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.
Mansour’s sound is unique: a fusion of Senegalese prayer songs, and the wild beats of East Coast American jazz. His voice soars and lifts, carrying away the hearts of all who hear him; carrying away Bonnie, a lost American girl with her own troubled past.
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. Her journey and their story will take the reader across the globe and into a world of sound, as we chart the rocky course that led to their stars colliding.
Advance Praise
'A mouthwatering delight. A reader traverses half the globe through this story, becomes a singer and a dancer and a chef; and is welcomed into a formidable community of women where love is the unshakeable glue. Subtle yet striking, They Dream in Gold is a remarkable comment on motherhood, diaspora, and ambition.' Sarah Jessica Parker
'One of the most beautiful debuts I’ve ever read ― musical, magical, and full of tenderness for the unique histories and identities entwined in love.' Dawnie Walton, author of The Final Revival of Opal & Nev
'They Dream in Gold sends us on a journey around the world with a remarkable cast of women in search of belonging and the realization of their dreams . . . I would follow these characters anywhere.' Laura Warrell, author of Sweet, Soft, Plenty Rhythm
'Exquisitely written, They Dream in Gold is an epic and hauntingly-beautiful story, each page shimmering like gold' Nguyn Phan Que Mai, internationally best-selling author of The Mountains Sing
