Renowned Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has made a grand return to fiction with the release of her latest novel, Dream Count, marking her first full-length novel in over a decade.
The book, which follows the lives of four women navigating love, identity, and power across Nigeria and the United States, has already garnered widespread acclaim.
Dream Count explores themes of resilience, justice, and self-discovery, with Adichie’s signature storytelling capturing both personal and societal struggles.
Literary critics have praised the novel’s emotional depth and powerful narratives, hailing it as a worthy successor to Americanah, her last novel released in 2013.
Adichie, who has spent recent years focusing on essays, speeches, and short stories, expressed her excitement about returning to long-form fiction.
With Dream Count already making waves in the literary world, fans and critics alike are celebrating the return of one of Africa’s most influential voices in contemporary literature.
