About this ebook
• NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED A NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST
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, has been successful at everything until—betrayed and brokenhearted—she must turn to the person she thought she needed least. Chiamaka’s bold, outspoken cousin Omelogor 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.

Ich sags mal so:Manches geht komplett an einem vorbei und ich wusste gar nicht das ich diese "wichtige" Autorin auf dem Schirm haben muss!? Gut schadet nix zu kucken.Lese dann worum es in den Büchern geht.Eine Welt in der ich nicht lebe,Lebensumstände die ich mir weder vorstellen will noch kann. Überfliege ich grob den Plot worum es in dem einen oder anderen Buch geht,erschlägt mich sofort diese lebensnahe Realität und ich mag mich irren,aber sorry ich glaub das keinen Moment. Und ich mag mich irren in meinem Leben,in meinem Alltag kann ich fragen wen ich will.Niemand kennt diese Autorin. Bei vielem was heute zwischen zwei Buchdeckeln gedruckt und veröffentlicht wird, wozu? Wer liest das? Gut ne Leseprobe und dann mal sehen. Aber ich glaub eher nich.

Great writing as usual. I expected the ending to be casual - which is common with Adichie's writing.
