Two dreamers. One love story. A world of sound.

When Bonnie meets musician Mansour in 1960s New York City, it is clear that they are meant to be. As they tour the world together, from New York to Paris, to Rio and Swtizerland, it soon seems as though fame and unimaginable riches are only a heartbeat away. But now he is missing, and Bonnie, pregnant with his child, must find him.

In Mai Sennaar's sparkling debut , Bonnie and Mansour's story takes us across oceans and continents as we chart their once-in-a-lifetime love.

'One of the most beautiful debuts I’ve ever read' - Dawnie Walton, author of The Final Revival of Opal & Nev

Critic Reviews

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. Sennaar tells their story with a musician’s ear for rhythm and subtlety, and indeed, music and love beat strong in the heart of this powerful debut. I would follow these characters anywhere. (Laura Warrell, author of Sweet, Soft, Plenty Rhythm)
A symphonic feat of wisdom and breathtaking verve, They Dream in Gold is a revelation of a novel that readers won't soon forget. Spanning continents and decades of sociopolitical changes, this wholly original, whirlwind story deftly illuminates the tensions of art and humanity with fresh language and vivid characters. Mai Sennaar is a rare, daring talent who wrings emotion and beauty from each page, each word, and leaves you thirsting for more still (Thao Thai, author of Banyan Moon)
