They Dream in Gold
What you need to know before your trail
Bonnie, a lost American girl with a troubled past.
Mansour, a gifted musician about to be discovered by the world.
When they meet at a jazz club in New York City, 1968, it is clear they are meant to be together. As they tour the globe, from Paris to Rio and Switzerland, stardom seems only a heartbeat away. But now Mansour is missing, and Bonnie, pregnant with their baby, must find him.

Travel Guide
New York, Paris, Bahia and Geneva
Lots of locations with a mention of Senegal as well but locations are not that strong. They feature in the story and distance and time is key but each location is not that well evoked. Not important – the story of the music and the musicians is key.
