Über diesen Titel
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A publishing event ten years in the making—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
A Most Anticipated Book of 2025 from The Washington Post, Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, Elle, Oprah Daily, Readers Digest, The Seattle Times, LitHub, The Chicago Review of Books, BET, and Radio Times
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 of 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.

Kritikerstimmen
A Most Anticipated Book of 2025 at The Washington Post, Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, Elle, Oprah Daily, Readers Digest, The Seattle Times, LitHub, The Chicago Review of Books, BET, and Radio Times
“Innovative . . . . Adichie’s attention to hierarchies of language, the misuses of jargon, is one of her superpowers . . . . Dream Count, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s first novel in a dozen years, is dreamy indeed. An accumulation of scenes and sensations, cloudlike in their contour, floating this way and that against the backdrop of the pandemic that messed up sleep—and time itself—for us all.”—Alexandra Jacobs, The New York Times
“Expansive . . . . The lives depicted in Dream Count are linked without being integrated, like tapestries on the four walls of a room . . . . The four women are sympathetic allies, but they tend to be better at diagnosing each others’ problems than facing their own. That’s a very recognizable flaw, and Ms. Adichie treats it as humanely as the rest of this tender and wistful novel.”—Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal
“More than 10 years on from Americanah, this latest book is infused with something new and distinctive in Adichie’s prose: a crystal-clear purposefulness, moral and furious . . . . What elevates the story is, as ever, the emotional acuity of Adichie’s writing . . . . This latest book is infused with something new and distinctive in Adichie’s prose: a crystal-clear purposefulness, moral and furious . . . . In her ‘Author’s Note’, Adichie admits to seeking ‘to “write” a wrong in the balance of stories’, offering ‘clear-eyed realism, but touched by tenderness’. Realism, yes, but tenderness most of all.”—Shahidha Bari, Financial Times

beautifully written & empowering
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.
