Adult Book Club Wednesday 11th October 7.30pm
Our next book club will be on Wednesday 11th October from 7.30pm-8.30pm
We will be discussing 'The Girl with the Louding Voice' by Abi Dare
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.
Journalist and presenter Catherine Larner will be joining us and leading the discussions - I will be present to sort out refreshments and to join in the book chat of course. I really look forward to introducing you all to Catherine who has lots of book club experience.
