Dream Count is a novel written by Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. [1] [2] [3] [4] The novel features four women whose stories are told in turn: Chiamaka, a Nigerian travel writer stranded in America during the pandemic, her friend Zikora who is a successful lawyer, her cousin Omelogor who works in finance before coming to study in the US, and Chiamaka's housekeeper, Kadiatou. [5]
In a review for the Associated Press, Helen Wieffering acknowledged Dream Count's "vibrant energy" and said it "succeeds because every page is suffused with empathy, and because Adichie’s voice is as forthright and clarifying as ever". [6]
