Reviews

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.
A glorious debut . . . a richly layered account of artistic endeavour and resilience.
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.
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.'
