Description
**DREAM COUNT, the searing new bestselling novel by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, is out now!**
A haunting tale of an Africa and an adolescence undergoing tremendous changes from the talented bestseller and award-winning author.
'A tale for our times' DAILY MAIL
‘Immensely powerful’ THE TIMES
The limits of fifteen-year-old Kambili’s world are defined by the high walls of her family estate and the dictates of her fanatically religious father. Her life is regulated by schedules: prayer, sleep, study, prayer.
When Nigeria is shaken by a military coup, Kambili’s father, involved mysteriously in the political crisis, sends her to live with her aunt. In this house, noisy and full of laughter, she discovers life and love – and a terrible, bruising secret deep within her family.
This extraordinary debut novel from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, author of ‘Half of a Yellow Sun’, is about the blurred lines between the old gods and the new, childhood and adulthood, love and hatred – the grey spaces in which truths are revealed and real life is lived.
