Zora’s Den in conversation with Mai Sennaar

We will celebrate the paperback release of the author’s critically acclaimed literary debut. THEY DREAM IN GOLD is an epic story of love, loss and connection in lush detail with cultural vibrancy, art, and music. In eloquent prose, Sennaar seamlessly spans continents, generations and decades. It all starts with dreamers, Bonnie and Mansour, and takes us on their journey in pursuit of home and what family means in the
diaspora.

Q&A following the event.
