Dream Count
By Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
It’s been years since Adichie, the author of “Americanah,” released a work of fiction; now she returns with the stories of four women navigating life during the pandemic. Centered on Chiamaka, a Nigerian travel writer based in the United States, the story also swivels to her cousin, her best friend and her housekeeper, as each woman grapples with familial and romantic love.

Raising Hare
By Chloe Dalton
During the height of the Covid lockdowns, a workaholic British writer and political adviser rescues a newborn hare — and soon adapts her frenetic existence to the daily rhythms and environmental awareness introduced by her furry new housemate. “I’d been waiting for life to go back to normal,” Dalton writes, “but if I could derive this much pleasure from something so simple, what else might be waiting to be discovered?”

The Unworthy
By Agustina Bazterrica; translated by Sarah Moses
The Argentine writer’s slim, suspenseful third novel is a dystopian eco-horror story set in a religious order called the House of the Sacred Sisterhood, which promises a sadistic kind of salvation from the global drought and hunger beyond its walls. When a wanderer arrives at the Sisterhood’s walls seeking refuge, the narrator and the convent’s leaders must contend with a compassion they’ve long been missing.
