Zikora, her best friend, is a lawyer who has been successful at everything until тАФ betrayed and brokenhearted тАФ she must turn to the person she thought she needed least.

And Kadiatou, ChiamakaтАЩs housekeeper, is proudly raising her daughter in America тАУ 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 AdichieтАЩs status as one of the most exciting and dynamic writers on the literary landscape.
