Description

New York, 2007: A city of dreamers and strivers, where all jostle for a place on the ladder of success. And Jende Jonga, who has come from Cameroon, has just set his foot on the first rung. Jende’s new job draws him and his family into the privileged orbit of the city’s financial elite. But there are troubling cracks opening and when they are faced with the loss of all they have worked for, they must decide how far they will go in pursuit of their dreams.

Professional reviews

"Behold the Dreamers is a dazzling debut novel about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness – and of what we’re prepared to sacrifice to hold on to each of them. “There are no heroes in this marvellous debut, only nuanced human beings. A classic tale with a surprise ending, as deeply insightful as it is delightfully entertaining.” TAIYE SELASI “Imbolo Mbue would be a formidable storyteller anywhere, in any language. It’s our good luck that she and her stories are American.” JONATHAN FRANZEN"
