My review of Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Achidie

I have long admired Chimamanda Adichie — for the force of her writing, her feminism and the intelligence with which she looks at women, power, identity and belonging.

Reading the first part of Dream Count, I found myself wondering how much of Chiamaka is Adichie. The parallels are intriguing: a Nigerian woman writer, cosmopolitan, living between Nigeria and the United States, travelling through the world and observing it with both affection and a sharp, sometimes unforgiving eye. How much is lived experience, transformed through fiction? How much is invention? And perhaps, more interestingly, where does the author deliberately depart from herself?

Dream Count resonated with me because it is also a book about movement: between countries, cultures, relationships and versions of oneself, as well as sisterhood.

Not the easy sisterhood of slogans, but the complicated one: women who love each other, envy each other, disappoint each other, protect each other and sometimes simply fail to understand one another. There is something deeply truthful in that.

And then there is the question of where we belong. The women in the novel move across borders, carrying their histories, privileges, losses and expectations with them. They inhabit several worlds at once. It was interesting to see how of the most confident characters in Nigeria ended up a totally different person in the US.

As someone who has spent much of my life moving between countries, institutions and cultures, I recognised something in that experience, on a smaller scale.

Being a migrant is learning to see the world from more than one perspective — and accepting that you may never belong entirely to just one.

A beautifully observed, deeply human novel about women, friendship, desire, ambition and the complicated geography of belonging.

Some books entertain. Others quietly open the way you see the world.

This summer, two stayed with me long after I turned the last page.

Free by Lea Ypi is a remarkable memoir of growing up in communist Albania and navigating the promises and disappointments that followed its collapse. It is ultimately less about politics than about what freedom really means—and how ideals, identity and family shape our understanding of it. I came across it thanks to Dua Lipa and her Service95 bookclub.

The Romantic by William Boyd takes us across the nineteenth century through the extraordinary life of Cashel Greville Ross. A sweeping novel of love, adventure, reinvention and loss, it reminds us that a life is rarely lived in a straight line—and that we are often the stories we tell ourselves.

One is a memoir. The other is fiction. Yet both ask similar questions: What makes us who we are? How much of our lives is shaped by history, and how much by the choices we make?

Two unforgettable reads. Highly recommended.

🌿 Turning 49 today. 🌿

A few years ago, I started to dread my birthdays. Turning 40 brought a wave of questions, doubts, and an unfamiliar fear of time slipping away. But today, I choose to celebrate. Aging isn’t something to fear—it’s a privilege, especially when you’re blessed with good health, love, and the curiosity to keep living fully.

My 40s were a decade of expansion. I stepped out of my comfort zone, explored new paths, and craved more—more experiences, more connections, more meaning. I learned that every year is a fresh chapter, an opportunity to grow, to reinvent, and to embrace life with open arms.
So today, I’m not counting the candles on my cake with worry. I’m lighting them with gratitude. Because aging isn’t just about the years—it’s about the connections, the experiences, the resilience, and the freedom that comes with them. And that, to me, is the greatest gift of all.

To anyone who, like me, has ever feared turning the page: Life isn’t measured in years, but in moments lived with purpose. And the best ones are still ahead. ✨

And you how do you feel about ageing?

Latest read from

is a tough book. She talks about the life of a twin girls born in a Kurdish family in the 70s, first in their homeland and then in London.

Shafaq unveils the dire feminine condition in this remote corner of the world.

The reason behind one sister's move being honour which sadly prevailed over love...

As Pembe emigrates to London, for a while it seems the pros seem to outweigh the cons, even if her marriage falters. Until strikes again.

The passage which I found the most dreadful is the one where the dad's twins says : "I am glad I did not have a son or he would have had to kill you". Then orders everyone to leave the house and his wife takes out ropes so that his eldest daughter hangs herself.

Not a cheerful read, pass this one if you need a feel good book. But if you are keen to understand the mechanics of honour and toxic families/masculinity, and are like me, always under the spell of Elif's story-telling, do read it. I imagine that this book made her quite unpopular in Turkey. But this story needed to be told...

We ended 2025 in the Canary island

Rebecca Anderton-Davies is an investment banker, yoga practitioner, and sometimes teacher, author, community-builder, wife and mother of two who lives in London. Her definition could have added feminist and Diversity and Inclusion advocate.

NB: If you replace investment banker and add coaching, this could be me:)

In her book 'shifting the dials', she argues for a more nuanced version of work/life balance by creating a dashboard representing your dials (i.e goals / activities you pursue or wish to get into) and their varied levels according to your current priorities and seasons in life.

Dials can be anything such as work (and this various elements from career to learning to pay), relationships (again multifaceted), community and impact, health and spirituality, culture and leisure.
Her approach is not too disimilar to the wheel of life used in coaching to get a state of play of life satisfaction. But she highlights the need for dynamism, in the sense that at certain moments in your life, some dials will be higher than others (think family for parents of young kids).

Her approach has merits as indeed it puts life in perspective and is a way to ensure we live an intentional life, which guides us to achieve our own personal notion of success if we can stay true to our values and own definition of what is a life well lived.

Between the lines, it appears clearly that Rebecca has enormous amounts of energy and drive, which is outside the norm. And she avoids the topic of working too many long hours and being preoccupied by work outside of it, which is the situation that many people complaining about poor work-life are in. She recognises that she made a choice to not being able to control fully her working hours, but in exchange her work gives her plentiful money, a good amount of holidays and parental leave and many other benefits.

This chapter on choices / trades on life - what struggle we are choosing for which benefit is one of the best ones in the book. It's not often that self-books say too much on this, and trust me I have read quite a few.

Being an investment banker, she highlights the cumulative benefit of early investment in the stock market.
