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

    I’ve heard about this book before and wanted to read it. Im late in starting it and with time constraints have not managed to read books in time for the meetings and therefore have a few unfinished books to go back to. However I found myself reading this book most evening feeling similar to another person on here. I want to know Adunni life gets better. Find the writting style ok and feel like it’s in tune with the setting of the place.
