The books will be on their way to all members of the Book Club this week, and this month's book is chosen by the group from the Cultural genre: The Girl With the Louding Voice by  Abi Daré:

I don't just want to be having any kind voice . . .
I want a louding voice.

 At fourteen, Adunni dreams of getting an education and giving her family a more comfortable home in her small Nigerian village. Instead, Adunni's father sells her off to become the third wife of an old man. When tragedy strikes in her new home, Adunni flees to the wealthy enclaves of Lagos, where she becomes a house-girl to the cruel Big Madam, and prey to Big Madam's husband. But despite her situation continuously going from bad to worse, Adunni refuses to let herself be silenced. And one day, someone hears her.

Please feel free to add your comments/views on this book to this post.

Sarah, Nicky and Clare look forward to seeing you at our next meeting on 15 June 2026 from 1930-2100.

Happy reading everyone Book

    This one takes a bit of getting used to to read, I am wondering what those who are listening to it think? Is it a better reading experience?

    I’m now on chapter 22 (I started it the end of last week) and I’m now more used to the writing style so it flows more easily in my head as I read, if that makes sense. I almost find myself having to switch my brain out of that mode when I stop reading…or that could just be my menopause brain!
