Dream Count. Special Edition

by Unknown Author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
$13.90
Dream Count. Special Edition
Dream Count. Special Edition

Four women, love, longing, and hard truths

This feels like the kind of novel you sink into for its emotional precision and come away from feeling deeply seen by. Adichie gives each woman a vivid inner life, so their heartbreak, ambition, doubt, and resilience all land with real force. If you like literary fiction that is intimate, sharp, and beautifully written, this is a rich and rewarding read.

Description

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.
