MY VERDICT? The Girl with the Louding Voice” is a total gem of a novel. Abi Daré’s poignant storytelling brings to life the journey of Adunni, a courageous young girl determined to overcome the many obstacles in her life. Adunni’s voice is as loud and compelling as her spirit, and drew me in from the very first page. 5*
THE BLURB:
Meet Adunni, a teenage girl born into a rural Nigerian village. Aged fourteen, she is a commodity, a wife, a servant. She is also smart, funny, curious, with a spirit and joy infectious to those around her. And despite her situation going from bad to worse, she has a plan to escape: she will find her ‘louding voice’ and get her education, so that she can speak up for herself – and all the girls who came before her.
As she turns enemies into friends and superiors into aides, Adunni will take you with her.
