**DREAM COUNT, the searing new bestselling novel by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, is out now!** THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 'WINNER OF WINNERS' One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World' 'A literary masterpiece' DAILY MAIL 'An immense achievement' OBSERVER In 1960s Nigeria, three lives intersect. Ugwu works as a houseboy for a university professor. Olanna has abandoned her life of privilege in Lagos to live with her charismatic lover, the lecturer. And Richard, a shy Englishman, is in thrall to Olanna's enigmatic twin sister. Amongst the horror of Nigeria's civil war, loyalties are tested as they are pulled apart and thrown together in ways none of them imagined. Winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's masterpiece is a novel about race, class and the end of colonialism - and the ways in which love can complicate everything. 'A gorgeous, pitiless account of love, violence and betrayal' TIME 'Vividly written, thrumming with life ? a remarkable novel' JOYCE CAROL OATES 'Adichie entwines love and politics to a degree rarely achieved by novelists' ELLE

    A book that, in my opinion, everyone should read. Educational, emotional and incredibly well written. "Would miss dinner to keep reading-good".

    Louise Åkergren, 12 maj 2013

    Adichie opened a new wold of literature to me. 'Half of a Yellow Sun' is a story that examines in detail a turbulent time in postcolonial Nigeria, and yet Adichie finds a way of transcending history, showing with prodigious skill the human experience in its full, tragic, and formidable nature. Studying it for my exams has been a pleasure, and a journey, and a richness, and I am forever grateful to Ms. Adichie for the experience her novel gave me, and the curiosity it stirred.
