A review by blackrock_bunny
Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

emotional reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

An eloquent study of four women – dreamy Chiamaka, who spends the pandemic reflecting on her past relationships; her fiesty cousin Omelogor, recently returned to Nigeria after a disastrous stint in the USA; her best friend Zikora,

abandoned by her partner when she announces she's pregnant

; and her housekeeper Kadiatou, a Guinean immigrant who finds herself navigating a brutal American justice system. Adiche is a wonderful writer and I found myself completely immersed in each woman's life and story.
