About the Book

Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a powerful, haunting tale that captures the turbulence of adolescence and the political upheavals in Africa. Fifteen-year-old Kambili’s world is confined within the high walls of her family estate, controlled by her fanatically religious father. Her life is dominated by rigid routines: prayer, sleep, and study.

When Nigeria is shaken by a military coup, Kambili is sent to live with her aunt in a house full of noise and laughter. Here, she discovers the joys of life and love but also uncovers a painful and shocking family secret. This debut novel by the award-winning author of Half of a Yellow Sun weaves a rich narrative about the blurred lines between childhood and adulthood, love and hate, and the old and new gods.

Praised for its immense power and vivid storytelling, Dream Count is an intoxicating read that is distinctly feminine, African, and universally relatable. The book explores the grey areas of life where truths are revealed, making it a compelling and unforgettable story.
