Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie says the writer's block she experienced after becoming pregnant with her first child was "terrifying". "It's a really frightening place to be, because writing is the thing that gives me meaning," the acclaimed Nigerian author, 47, tells the BBC's Emma Barnett.

When her father died, the author of “Americanah” produced a slim work of nonfiction. When her mother died, she poured her grief into a sprawling 416-page novel.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s 'Dream Count' marks a triumphant return to fiction, blending powerful storytelling with deep empathy as it explores the lives of four women navigating love, purpose, and justice.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie discusses Dream Count, the lives of the women at its centre, and why she refuses to shy away from complex realities in a new interview with The Telegraph.

In her first novel since “Americanah,” she draws on a real-life assault as she follows the lives of three Nigerian women and one of their former housekeepers.

Since her last novel, she’s had three children, lost her parents and courted controversy on issues from trans to Trump – and she won’t stop now

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s “Dream Count” begins in the midst of the Covid-19 lockdowns, which means that this expansive novel of friendship is tinged from the start by an air of melancholy. The characters are Nigerian women from different rungs of their country’s upper class.
