Hi family! Our next selection for The Onward Book Club is the dazzling novel THE GIRL WITH THE LOUDING VOICE, by the ridiculously talented Abi Daré (@abidare_author.) Please get yourself a copy of this unforgettable story of a brilliant young Nigerian girl’s relentless determination to get an education despite all odds. This book has one of the most powerful narrative voices I have ever read: You will not soon forget Adunni, our heroine. I will be talking with Abi Daré about the book on Instagram Live, March 31 at 2pm. Join us! (And for those of you who don’t yet know about the #onwardbookclub, it’s a sacred gathering where we read, discuss, amplify and celebrate the writing of Black women. All you have to do to join is read along, and perhaps encourage your existing book clubs to explore more books by Black women. For more information about the book club, and to see interviews with my former guests, click the link in my bio.) As always, I suggest that you purchase the book from a Black-owned bookstore. My favorite is @elizabethsofakron, owned by my beloved friend @rachel.cargle. Happy reading, my friends — you’re going to LOVE this one! And @abidare_author — I can’t wait to talk to you! Onward! ❤️LG. #thegirlwiththeloudingvoice #abidare
