READ BY CHIMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHIE, SANDRA OKUBOYEJO, A'RESE EMOKPAE AND JANINA EDWARDS.

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES NO.1 BESTSELLER; LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2025

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.

‘The major publication milestone of 2025’ OBSERVER

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 on 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.

I’m actually reading this book for a book club, it’s not something I’d necessarily choose for myself but I’ve honestly enjoyed it, the new perspectives were opening new worlds I wouldn’t have known about. Highly recommend

A new perspective

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Ability to balance the societal observations, reality of our lives I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done Chimamanda

A lot hey

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

There are not just the four leads, there are also their families, cleaners, lovers etc. The inclusion of DSK case in the novel was definitely a bad idea.

Too many characters

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
