I have some mixed feelings about A Dream Count.  I rated 4 stars because of Adichie's beautiful style of writing. She is a master at the art of prose. Following four Nigerian women,  we glide through they past and present lives,  uncovering their wants, desires, choices,  or their response to situations when choices are taken away from them. Told in alternating points of views, which I'm normally a fan of, hindered this story, in my opinion.  As a reader, I felt I was kept at a distance from these characters. The story just floated without much of a plot to keep the story on point.  For that, my interest in the book was lost frequently. 

I was provided an advanced reader copy, opinions are my own.
