"Adunni's brave, fresh voice powerfully articulates a resounding anger toward Africa's toxic patriarchy. . . . Daré draws the reader in with a vivid character whose dire circumstances are contrasted with her natural creativity (she keeps her spirits up by composing comic songs imagining a fabulous future) and her undying will to survive. . . . Throughout her harrowing coming-of-age journey, told with verve and compassion, Adunni never loses the 'louding voice' that makes Daré's story, and her protagonist, so unforgettable."--The New York Times Book Review "Inspiring . . . explores a spirit and hope that cannot be contained even in the grimmest of circumstances."--Entertainment Weekly."It will break your heart and then it will put it back together again."--Jenna Bush Hager on the Today show."I'm excited about this debut novel from Nigerian author Abi Daré. . . . In Nigeria, and around the world, girls are fighting for their right to learn. I'm grateful to Abi for showing the challenges Nigerian girls face and showcasing the power of their voices."--Malala Yousafzai "A courageous story."--The New York Times."A powerful debut about fighting for our dreams."--PopSugar."[A] compelling debut."--Ms., Feminist Books Coming Out in 2020 "A bold new storyteller . . . Abi Daré's fearless debut is a celebration of girls who dare to dream and those who help unfurl their wings so that they might soar."--Imbolo Mbue, New York Times bestselling author of Behold the Dreamers (Oprah's Book Club pick) "I'm a big fan of hyper-realistic dialogue and using the sounds of a world to shape the energy of a novel, and so I was immediately drawn to The Girl with the Louding Voice. . . . [Adunni] is a youthful, dynamic guide with serious bite and poetic language."--Kiley Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Such a Fun Age "The girl with the louding voice is a character for the ages. Adunni is a girl who narrates her own suffering with levity, who paints depth and texture and beauty into her Nigerian homeland, who tenderly cultivates her own humanity even while everything around her seeks to thwart it. She is an ambassador for girls everywhere. She is important, funny, brave, and enduring. Abi Daré has written an unforgettable novel, by the strength of her own louding voice."--Jeanine Cummins, New York Times bestselling author of American Dirt.
