Brief Description:
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
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.
