DREAM COUNT BY CHIMAMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHIE

Some books speak to your mind; others reach into your memory and stir emotions long buried. Dreams Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is one of those rare books that does both. Set during the eerie silence of the lockdown era—a time marked by fear of the unknown—this novel took me back to those uncertain days. It reminded me of the fear, the forced stillness, the moments of introspection, and how people coped: some by pretending nothing was happening, others by giving in to hopelessness, and some—like the characters in this story—by clinging to their dreams. At the center of it all is Chiamaka , or Chia , whose life is a mirror to many women’s experiences.

That moment when you doubt everything, including the very existence of your relationship? This is where we meet Udoka and Iriah . Two people trying to navigate love, marriage, expectations, and identity. Udoka is a man struggling with balance.

In his pursuit of success and validation, he overlooks the one thing his wife desperately needs: attention, affection, and emotional presence. Small gestures, big gestures — they all matter. That’s a lesson we can all take home. Iriah , on the other hand, wants what many women long for — to be seen, cherished, respected. But even she must confront her own struggles with trust and dependence. I loved the way Amaka weaved in supporting characters like...
