Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a touching exploration of sisterhood and the search for fulfilment.
What We Say: “Surely the literary event of the year, the new novel from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has been hotly anticipated – and doesn’t disappoint. Told through the interconnected lives of four Nigerian women living on both sides of the Atlantic, Dream Count is a study of the pursuit of love and happiness and how fulfilment can be found in many guises. It is also a mediation on the social worlds the women inhabit – and the recognisably real-life assault that is suffered by one lands like a gut-punch. We experience the full force of Chimamanda’s feminist rage, and it is magnificent.” – Maria Padget
What They Say: “Reads like a feminist War and Peace. A magnificent novel” – Sunday Times
