'A mouth-watering delight . . . subtle yet striking' - Sarah Jessica Parker'One of the most beautiful debuts I’ve ever read — musical, magical, and full of tenderness' - Dawnie Walton, author of The Final Revival of Opal & NevTWO DREAMERS.

ONE LOVE STORY. A WORLD OF SOUND. Bonnie and Mansour are meant to be: two children abandoned by their mothers from opposite sides of the Black Atlantic, who find each other in New York in 1968 and set about making music that will change the world. Mansour’s sound is unique: a fusion of Senegalese prayer songs, and the wild beats of East Coast American jazz.

His voice soars and lifts, carrying away the hearts of all who hear him; carrying away Bonnie, a lost American girl with her own troubled past. As they travel together from New York to Paris, to Rio and Switzerland, Mansour’s music forges connections and breaks new ground.

Soon it seems as though fame and unimaginable riches are only a heartbeat away. But suddenly Mansour is missing. And Bonnie, pregnant with his child, sets out to find him.

Her journey and their story will take the reader across the globe and into a world of sound, as we chart the rocky course that led to their stars colliding.
