From the bestselling and award-winning author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists comes Dream Count, the story of four women and their loves, longings, and desires.
Chiamaka is a Nigerian travel writer living in America. During the pandemic, she recalls her past lovers and grapples with regrets. Zikora, her best friend, is brokenhearted and must turn to the person she thought she needed least. Omelogor, Chiamaka’s cousin, is a financial powerhouse in Nigeria who begins to question how well she knows herself. And Kadiatou, Chiamaka’s housekeeper, is raising her daughter in America but faces an unthinkable hardship that threatens all she has worked to achieve.
In Dream Count, Adichie takes up the very nature of love itself. Is true happiness ever attainable or is it a fleeting state? How honest must we be with ourselves to love and to be loved? The novel reflects on the choices we make and those that are made for us, on daughters and mothers, and on our interconnected world.
Adichie is also the author of Purple Hibiscus, Half of a Yellow Sun, and The Thing Around Your Neck, among other works.
