A READ WITH JENNA TODAY SHOW BOOK CLUB PICK!
“Brave, fresh . . . unforgettable.”—The New York Times Book Review
“A celebration of girls who dare to dream.”—Imbolo Mbue, author of Behold the Dreamers (Oprah’s Book Club pick)
Shortlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize and recommended by The New York Times, Marie Claire, Vogue, Essence, PopSugar, Daily Mail, Electric Literature, Red, Stylist, Daily Kos, Library Journal, The Everygirl, and Read It Forward!
The unforgettable, inspiring story of a teenage girl growing up in a rural Nigerian village who longs to get an education so that she can find her “louding voice” and speak up for herself, The Girl with the Louding Voice is a simultaneously heartbreaking and triumphant tale about the power of fighting for your dreams. Despite the seemingly insurmountable obstacles in her path, Adunni never loses sight of her goal of escaping the life of poverty she was born into so that she can build the future she chooses for herself – and help other girls like her do the same. Her spirited determination to find joy and hope in even the most difficult circumstances imaginable will “break your heart and then put it back together again” (Jenna Bush Hager on The Today Show) even as Adunni shows us how one courageous young girl can inspire us all to reach for our dreams…and maybe even change the world.

Twenty-four-year-old British painter Cleo has escaped from England to New York and is still finding her place in the sleepless city when, a few months before her student visa ends, she meets Frank. Twenty years older and a self-made success, Frank’s life is full of all the excesses Cleo’s lacks. He offers her the chance to be happy, the freedom to paint and the opportunity to apply for a green card. But their impulsive marriage irreversibly changes both their lives and the lives of those close to them, in ways they never could’ve predicted.

I must point out that each year, an estimated 12 million girls aged under 18 marry against their will. This is just one story...
The Girl With the Lounding Voice is a book about hope and the fierceness of the human spirit.
I first came across this book at the beginning of the year when I was searching for books by African writers that would be coming out in 2020.
And although at the time it didn’t make my ‘Most Anticipated Books of 2020’ list, it truly should have, because it is a gem, it is real, it is sad, it is happy, it is beautiful.
This compelling debut by Abi Dare transported me into Adunni’s life, as I felt her joys and hardships.
The story begins with fourteen-year-old Adunni, a Nigerian girl who lives in a small home with her father and brothers, her month has passed away so naturally, she has taken over the household cleaning and cooking. Before she knows what is going on she’s sold into marriage as wife number three to a man older than her own father.
Her father, who’s concerned more about his well-being and paying the household bills, doesn’t think twice about selling his daughter into marriage, and even enjoys the richness that the sale affords him, right in front of her face.
Still, a virgin, Adunni’s new husband is focused on getting her pregnant, so that she can have a son for him and carry on the business and the family name since none of his other wives have been able to give him one.
Abused and mistreated by the first wife, Adunni runs away only to find herself a slave in a wealthy household suffering all forms of abuse. Despite the life she is given, Adunni is determined to live out her dreams of going to school and becoming a teacher one day. And her perseverance is what makes the story so compelling.
I loved this book. It was so well written and the themes of classism and sexism in Nigeria engulf the story and make you think about the millions of girls like Adunni that have no way out and very little options.
An inspiring read about hope & belief
