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

    "But I just wanted to say thank you, I really enjoyed this book. I liked the style of writing and it helped me really hear Adunni's voice. There were lots of themes to reflect on. 

     

    I thought the theme of all the women ultimately being victims was interesting and that Adunni has been given a lifeline (for now.... I suspect!)

     

    I wonder if the mum's friend had an inner turmoil when arranging to get her trafficked - staying in the same place was not an option, trafficking her gave a glimmer of hope she might escape - what a horrible dilemma to have though.

     

    I expect I will be missing an interesting discussion"
