The Front List: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in Conversation with Afua Hirsch

Acclaimed author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie joins writer and broadcaster Afua Hirsch at the iconic McEwan Hall, Edinburgh, for an unmissable conversation about her feverishly anticipated new novel, Dream Count.

Ten years in the making, Dream Count follows the interconnected lives of four immigrant women between Nigeria and the US, wrestling with the direction their lives have, and haven’t, taken. A powerful exploration of sisterhood, solidarity, and fulfilment, Adichie offers insights into her transcendent new work and how the choices we make – or which are made for us – can cast a longer shadow than we might ever expect.

As part of Edinburgh International Book Festival’s prestigious Front List series, this special event at the beautifully refurbished McEwan Hall promises to be one of the highlights of the festival. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from one of our most important literary voices as she reflects on race, identity, and the stories that define us, in conversation with the brilliant Afua Hirsch.
