DREAM COUNT
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.
Edad recomendada: Adultos.
