They Dream In Gold

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

Exquisitely written, They Dream in Gold is an epic and hauntingly-beautiful story, each page shimmering like gold, woven by Mai Sennaar’s astounding talent as a debut author whose work I look forward to reading during the years to come.Nguyn Phan Que Mai, internationally best-selling author of The Mountains Sing

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. 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
