• NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED A NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST

A searing, exquisite new 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. Contemporary Genre Fiction Women's Fiction

A wonderful book and so warmly and beautifully read! I can't believe, I'm only now discovering Adichie.

A masterpiece of it's own kind!

A novel that tells the stories of four individual African women with their own views and background and yet conveys an overarching story about humanity. I (male, white, and in my sixties) was intrigued by the author's capability to spellbind me. The audiobook edition is very well read, including two chapters by the author herself, which is a real bonus. Highly recommended!

Arguably one of the best novels in recent years

Some passages were so beautifully written that I had to get a copy of the book just to highlight them, so I could return to them and reread them in the future. I really enjoyed the different narrators’ voices, though I didn’t always catch everything they said because of their pronunciation. I listened to the audiobook while reading the physical book. The book unexpectedly helped me process a lot emotionally. Adichie has this way of putting things into words—things you’ve felt but couldn’t quite explain. It gives you a sense of clarity and agency, like she’s articulated something you’ve been carrying but didn’t have language for thereby empowering you.

beautifully written & empowering
