Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

A publishing event ten years in the making—a searing, exquisite new novel by the best-selling and award-winning author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists. 

Dream Count is a trenchant reflection on the choices we make and those made for us, exploring the lives of women grappling with love, memory, identity, and grief. The narrative follows Chiamaka, a Nigerian travel writer in America during the pandemic, who reflects on her past lovers—her "dream count"—alongside the stories of her friends and family. From a financial powerhouse in Nigeria to a housekeeper raising her daughter in America, Adichie trains her fierce eye on these interwoven lives to examine the very nature of love and true happiness.
