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

    Thank you to everyone who came along to our book club meeting last evening. 

    This book was "enjoyed" by everyone even though it was a harrowing read, it was a very powerful one and once we got into the way the story was written I believe the majority of us were gripped by Adunni's story, and quite a few of us have already purchased/downloaded the next book to find out how Adunni's story continues.

    The Anchor score was 8.61 out of 10 - which means that you would recommend to a friend/family member and it went for a very strong SWIM - no one sank it - I think this is a first!
