Dream Count - Chimamanda Ngozi AdichieA searing, exquisite novel by the bestselling and award-winning author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists – the story of four women and their loves, longings and desires. Chiamaka is a Nigerian travel writer living in America. Alone in the midst of the pandemic, she recalls her past lovers and grapples with her choices and regrets. Zikora, her best friend, has been successful at everything until – betrayed and brokenhearted – she must turn to the person she thought she needed least. Chiamaka’s bold, outspoken cousin Omelogor is a financial powerhouse in Nigeria who begins to question how well she knows herself. And Kadiatou, Chiamaka’s housekeeper, is proudly raising her daughter in America – but faces an unthinkable hardship that threatens all she has worked to achieve. Dream Count is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s searing, unforgettable story of these four women – a sparkling, transcendent novel that takes up the very nature of love itself. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's book 'Dream Count' was a No.1 Sunday Times bestseller w/c 2025-03-10. Review ‘Quintessential Adichie: ambitious, astute and powered by an accumulation of feather-light sentences that build to devastating weight. Masterly’ Guardian ‘A big book, richly marbled with criss-crossing storylines … powered by the simple but evergreen thrill of time spent in the company of flesh and blood characters lavishly imagined. It was worth the wait'Observer 'Deeply compelling' Washington Post ‘As finely constructed and evocatively realised as the rest of Adichie’s memorable work’ Harper’s Bazaar ‘This is a book that will make your heart ache, but in the best possible way, and it cements Adichie’s reputation as a storyteller of both heft and readability’ Good Housekeeping ‘Adichie is the master of writing about feelings which are difficult to put a finger on… She often says she is preoccupied with telling the truth. How often you will read a line from Dream Count and think how utterly true it is’ London Standard ‘Blisteringly emotive… richly written and acutely observed’ I News ‘A captivating and touching exploration of love, happiness, and the pursuit of fulfilment in modern society’ Cosmopolitan About the Author CHIMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHIE grew up in Nigeria.
