Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie returns to fiction with her first novel, Dream Count, after a significant hiatus due to personal difficulties and writer's block. The novel explores the lives of four women connected to Nigeria and Guinea, driven by Adichie's deep desire to explore themes of connection and understanding. The phrase, "I have always longed to be known, truly known by another human being," serves as the story's foundation, drawing on her reflections on grief following her father's death. The book promises to deliver a blend of intimacy and magical storytelling.
"Writing fiction is the love of my life. It's the thing that I think gives me meaning. And it's quite different... from writing nonfiction with fiction. It's magical."
"I have always longed to be known, truly known by another human being... I knew I would write something with that as kind of the kernel of the story."
