Synopsis: 

‘A mouth-watering delight . . . subtle yet striking’ – Sarah Jessica Parker

‘Extraordinary’ – The New York Times

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.
