fiction
Adunni, The Girl with the Louding Voice, is a 14yo Nigerian girl who is suffering from limited
resources, poor circumstances, and no control over her destiny. Despite
multiple hardships, her spirit cannot be beaten.
Adunni jumps off the page and feels so genuine. Additionally, the setting is so well drawn by Abi Daré that I learned a lot about this area of the world. Her story is heartbreaking and heartwarming. She is at the mercy of fate--plagued with misfortune but also saved when opportunities with potential present themselves. Adunni has dreams and a kind heart. Through determination and hope, she aims to improve her life. She’s had a difficult life but always tries to make the best of it. The reader cannot help but root for her.
