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, is a lawyer who has been successful at everything until - betrayed and brokenhearted - she must turn to the person she thought she needed least. Omelogor, Chiamaka's bold, outspoken cousin, 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.
In Dream Count, Adichie trains her fierce eye on these women in a sparkling, transcendent novel that takes up the very nature of love itself. Is true happiness ever attainable or is it just a fleeting state? And how honest must we be with ourselves in order to love, and to be loved? A trenchant reflection on the choices we make and those made for us, on daughters and mothers, on our interconnected world, Dream Count pulses with emotional urgency and poignant, unflinching observations on the human heart, in language that soars with beauty and power. It confirms Adichie's status as one of the most exciting and dynamic writers on the literary landscape.
'Expect everyone to be talking about this one' INDEPENDENT
'Adichie electrifies her depictions of each character with stinging details and lacerating social critiques to striking, hilarious and heartbreaking effect. Every aspect of this transfixing, intimate and astute group portrait is ablaze with scorching insights into the maddening absurdities and injustices that continue to plague women's lives. Adichie's magnificently vital, sharply forthright novel will be one of the year's most sought after and resounding titles' Starred Booklist review
'Love, death, motherhood - it's all here, and few can handle it as capably as Adichie' GQ
'Luxuriously layered. It's the return of a literary titan' Telegraph

Praise for Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie:
'Adichie uses language with relish. She infuses her English with a robust poetry' The Times
'A writer endowed with the gift of ancient storytellers' Chinua Achebe
'[Adichie is] the rare novelist to become a public intellectual - as well as a defining voice on race and gender for the digital age' New York Times Magazine

'Adichie creates indelible characters who jump off the page and into your head and heart' USA Today
