Book Summary

A publishing event ten years in the making—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, is a lawyer who has been successful at everything until—betrayed and brokenhearted—she must turn to the person she thought she needed least. Omelogor, Chiamaka's bold, outspoken cousin, 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.

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 of the human heart, in language that soars with beauty and power. It confirms Adichie's status as one of the most exciting and dynamic writers on the literary landscape.

Is there a quote or scene in Dream Count that stood out for you? Why do you suppose it resonated?
Two I really liked. One is "If our daughters don't know how beautiful they are, just as they are, then surely we have failed". I loved how this reinforced the importance of the foundation your home in providing you a secure identity and confidence. I think many insecurities people have stem from ...

Zikora tells Omelogor and Chia that “every woman has a story…where a man has lied to her or betrayed her and left her with consequences.” Do you think this is true?
In terms of generalization, yes. While I know not all men act the same, I do think a lot of women can probably have some examples of this being true for them.
-Letitia_Asare


Chia also thinks, “Where have all the years gone, and have I made the most of life? But what is the final measure for making the most of life, and how would I know if I have?” How would you answer her?
One of the hardest questions to ask, but essentially its about how do you determine a life well lived. So this answer can vary per person – sometimes its about creating a fulfilling career, a family, a life of service, a life of adventure, a life of enjoyment. What are the ways we prefer to fill ...
-Letitia_Asare


Overall, what did you think of Dream Count? (no spoilers, please!)
Totally agree with you, @Letitia_Asare . I felt Americanah changed my perspective in some regards, whereas I didn't feel Dream Count taught me anything new.
-kim.kovacs


What did you think of the book’s title? Did you figure out its meaning before it was revealed toward the end of the book? Do you think the phrase is apt?
I liked the title as its partially what also intrigued me to the plot of the book. I figured out the meaning pretty quickly and I do think it fits
-Letitia_Asare


Chia asks Chuka, “Do you sometimes want to escape and find another life?” Why do you think she sometimes feels trapped? Have you ever felt similarly?
Chia was trapped by the expectations of her family and their position in society. I also think she trapped herself by feeling trapped. It became self perpetuating for her.
-Laura_D


Overall, what did you think of the men in this book? Did you find any "good ones" -- ones who might be considered a good life partner?
Chuka seemed like a "good one" – but I understand Chia's reluctance to attach herself to someone so satisfied and set in his ways. I also, of course, had high hopes for Kwame and Zikora – until!!! The variety of ways Adichie chose to illustrate how men can treat women poorly was truly breathtaking!
-Michelle_H


What did you think of Omelogor's experience of American graduate school students?
Of course it doesn't only apply to grad students – but in the novel, that's where Omelogor experiences this type of American
-Michelle_H


The plot is set during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. What do you think of the way the main characters reacted to the lockdown? How were their experiences similar to or different from your own?
I feel we will be processing this for years to come. The shared trauma of this time, the unmourned losses. The people dieing alone with family at bedside. People unable to gather together to mourn so devastating. I love love to see the books written about this time as it helps me process my own l...
-Karen_K


What audience would you recommend Dream Count to? Is there another book or author you feel has a similar theme or style? If you’ve read the author’s other works, how does this one compare?
I wish all men would be required to read it!
-Michelle_H


Aside from Kadi, a character written to tug at our heartstrings, which woman held the most appeal for you?
Omelogor. I like women who are outspoken and do not put up with nonsense with men. I loved her posts to them though, because she really did have compassion for the ways their upbringing had limited them. I also loved the way she could easily manipulate men who are driven by their bloated – and fr...
-Michelle_H


“In an unfinished dying, you feel you must mourn but you can’t even begin, because you haven’t reached an end that you understand,” Zikora thinks of the end of her romance with Kwame. Do you relate to this statement? What advice would you give her?
I can relate to this, having expectations, and dreams and just have it end, it takes a long time to get over. You just have to go on and be grateful for everything you do have and before you know it you've moved on!
-Diane_P


What did you think of Omelogor’s “Dear Men” column? Did you agree or disagree with any of the advice she gave? Which bits?
I thought it was kind of funny. She seemed very uninhibited and outgoing in her advice!
-Diane_P


What did you think of Kadi’s story? Why do you think the hotel was so insistent on prosecuting the guest who raped her, even though she herself didn’t want to pursue charges? What roles did race and nationality play in her experience?
I found Kadi's situation so sad. It's just seems so typical of the way most woman are treated when they have been assaulted, I couldn't blame her for the reaction she had at the news her case was being dropped.
-Diane_P


Chia, Omelogor and Zikora are pressured to marry and have children, particularly by their Nigerian relatives and culture. How is each influenced, and how does each pursue this goal? Do you feel Western cultures are equally guilty of this?
I agree with J … perhaps because I also am a grandmother and have seen the changes in our country over the years. While women of my generation generally married in their 20's and there was an expectation for them to have children within a few years, this has changed. I have two nieces in their la...
-Lisa_G


Omelogor asks Hauwa, “Isn’t that what friendship is, to want each other’s approval?” What did you think of this statement? What’s your definition of friendship?
I wonder if "approval" was what Omelogor really was seeking here, as opposed to feeling seen, understood, which is another way of saying "feeling accepted." I agree that in mature relationships, friends don't issue approvals or disapprovals—they seek to understand one another, they are open to ex...
-JLPen77


Chia, Zikora and Kadi all pray. What role does faith play in each of these women’s lives?
I think also that their desire to pray was a way to stay connected to their families of origin as well as their villages and provided a day to day stability for them. And Omelogor's musings about watching the gatekeeper Mohammed praying several times a day just outside her apartment was so touching.
-Margaret_K


The first sentence of the novel has Chia musing, “I have always longed to be known, truly known, by another human being.” What do you feel she means? Do you think what she desires is possible? How does this theme play out over the course of the book?
I agree she is looking for a soulmate and this is a very natural longing. But she is much too worried about appearances and expectations—including her family's traditions—and not really in touch with her self; she wastes too much time lying to herself and others about Darnell. She struck me as sp...
-JLPen77


Someone tells Omelogor, “You know they don’t want us to learn our history.” She responds, “Go and learn your history. It’s not anybody’s responsibility to teach you.” What did you think of this scene? Do you agree with Omelogor?
Omelegor is right to suggest we owe it to ourselves to take our history (as people of a certain identity that matters to us) into our own hands. I think that is what she meant. She wanted him to care about their history. It is not unlike the message in Tommy Orange's Wandering Stars : some people...

What are you reading this week? (3/12/2025)
Half of a Yellow Sun-- beautiful book and the author has a new one out: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Dream Count
-Claire_Mauro


What do you think each of the women’s lives might look like ten years after the conclusion of Dream Count?
Being an idealist and hopeful optimist, I see Chia married to her soulmate, Kadi will be married to Amadou who will be an honest, hard working and loving husband and stepfather, Zikora will be a great mother to Chidera and not focus on her love life until he is grown to be a man, and Omelogor wil...
-Elizabeth_L


In what ways do the characters' experiences of racism differ based on their gender, background, and geographical location? What racial barriers do Zikora and Chia in particular face as they pursue their careers?
Definitely Katailou had the most difficult experiences with racism and gender because she did have money and privilege that the other 3 had. However, all of them experienced discrimination and misogyny.

Media Reviews

"In today's world, when people seem at once too cut off and too much in each other's business, readers will feel communion with these tense, put-upon, yet resilient women in crisis. Adichie weaves stories of heartbreak and travail that are timely, touching, and trenchant." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Adichie returns to fiction after more than a decade with this superb tale of the fleeting joys and abiding disappointments of four African women on both sides of the Atlantic...[She] riffs brilliantly on what feminism means to her characters and renders each woman's story in a distinctive voice…This is well worth the wait." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Every aspect of this transfixing, intimate, and astute group portrait is ablaze with scorching insights into the maddening absurdities and injustices that continue to plague women's lives...Adichie's magnificently vital, sharply forthright novel will be one of the year's most sought after and resounding titles." —Booklist (starred review)

What dreams are made of
I was given an advance reader's copy of this book for an upcoming book club discussion. I was excited and honored to get it because Purple Hibiscus, Adichie's earlier book, is one of my favorites and I think this, the second book I've read by her, will be joining that list.

First, the book is definitely a character-driven novel, though with four female characters (Chiamaka, Zikora, Kadiatou, and Omelgor) whose lives intertwine and with whom you become intimately involved and develop a connection. The four women comes from different backgrounds in their native Nigeria: Chiamaka and Zikora come from wealth and while Omelgor might be more middle class, she cleverly abuses the system to gain wealth; Kadiatou is poor but manages through a series of circumstances to find her way to America where she succeed in creating a good life and finds herself in a friendship with Chiamaka.

Second, a part of the story line is based on real event (the author's note explains this in great detail), so there is an historical element to the telling of these women's lives. This event is fraught with misogyny, sexism and degradation, pointing to dilemmas women, regardless of nationality and country, face every day. Finally, the title itself is about all the women's "dreams" about finding a man who will be "the one" to complete her but in all four stories, "no one" emerges, but these women seem fulfilled in their lives as their stories are told and unfold in the book.

The book is divided into five parts: the first four revolve around each of the characters; the last goes back to Chiamaka, who is the main character, as her friendships and familial relationships are what tie all four women together. In dividing the book this way, Adichie develops her characters, intertwines the women together and shows how as each possibly pursues finding a husband (this is very big in the Nigerian culture, so relatives are always nagging at the women about this), the men they meet either are self-serving, selfish or have secondary motives in pursuing a relationship. When Kadiatou does marry (she really doesn't have the option to be independent), it is an arranged marriage to an older man and it's not all that great. Omelgor writes a column or blog filled with letters advising men on their foibles and why they drive women aways - some of very funny and clever.

All in all, the dream aspect in the novel serves as a great counterpoint to what happens to Kadiatou (you have to read the book to find out what this is), showing that men can be inherently cruel, selfish and that society in general really doesn't have all that high of opinion on women. I really enjoyed this book both for the story line, the female characters who are all so different but who represent real women and their struggles to fit into society, and for the writing itself. Adichie is a wonderful writer. Highly recommend.

Complex and Layered Stories
Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

The readings by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Sandra Okuboyejo, A’rese Emokpae, and Janina Edwards, are all very well done. I paired the audiobook with the book.

Is true happiness ever attainable or is it just a fleeting state?

Set in Nigeria and America, Dream Count is centered around four women depicting the complexity of each of their lives: Chiamaka, Zikora, Kadiatou, and Omelogor, each reflecting of becoming the best versions of themselves. Chiamaka, a travel writer yearning for a soulmate; Zikora, an ambitious lawyer wanting a career, and the so called, “perfect” family; Kadiatou, a maid seeking opportunities in America; and Omelogor, a financial powerhouse in Nigeria who begins to question how well she knows herself.

Themes of love, motherhood, identity, privilege, longing, regret, and the search for connection are explored in this complex and layered story. A distinctly feminist note rings throughout the book. The atmosphere of pre-lockdown uncertainty of 2020 pandemic is only a backdrop for the reminiscing of the characters. This is my first read of Adichie’s and I really enjoyed it, but felt it was a tad too long. The gender strictures put upon them is the culture of what is expected of Nigerian women. The universal yearning to be known and loved ties each of these women together. I found the character of Kadiatou to be the centerpiece of this book. Adichie, is a gifted storyteller and her writing is beautiful and poetic. I will be reading more from this skilled author.

Thank you to BookBrowse and Penguin Random House for the book to read and discuss.
