About the Book

Dream Count

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.

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.
