Description
Behold the Dreamers A Novel by Imbolo Mbue is a powerful and poignant tale of love, family, and identity. In 2007, Jende Jonga brings his wife Neni from Cameroon to join him in America, seeking a better life for their son. When Jende lands a dream job as chauffeur to a Lehman Brothers executive, Neni finds herself drawn into the glamorous world of Cindy Edwards.
The Edwards' lives are turned upside down when the financial world is rocked by the collapse of Lehman Brothers. As faultlines appear in both marriages and secrets bubble to the surface, Jende and Neni must decide how far they will go in pursuit of their dreams, and what they will sacrifice along the way.
This marvellous debut novel is as deeply insightful as it is delightfully entertaining, offering a nuanced exploration of the African American experience and the complexities of family life. With its richly drawn characters and thought-provoking themes, Behold the Dreamers A Novel is a compelling read for anyone interested in contemporary fiction.
