The Girl with Louding Voice by Abi Daré

 

Adunni dreams of becoming a teacher.

But it seems it is not to be.  Her mother dies and her father marries her off so that he can earn some money. She faces several challenges but encounters a couple of friends on the way.  There are some grave dangers.  She has to escape the wrath of her husband. She finds employment but her boss is cruel and violent. She has to study hard at the same time as completing long hours of physical work.

Abi Daré certainly gives Audnni a “louding” voice and creates an authentic character here.
