Dream Count
Published by: 4th Estate
The lives of four interconnected women – their loves, their ambitions, their disappointments, their traumas – are scrutinised in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s dazzling fourth novel. Set across three continents and a sprawling cast of characters, Dream Count is a polyphonic work that engages with a range of charged themes, from the diaspora experience to sexual assault and the politics of female bodies. It is rigorously, bracingly contemporary – and yet it has a timelessness that characterises all great fiction.
