Publisher's Summary
Mama say: "Your schooling is your voice, child.
It will be speaking for you even if you didn't open your mouth to talk.
It will be speaking till the day God is calling you come."
That day, I tell myself that even if I am not getting anything in this life,
I will go to school and become Teacher.
Because I don't just want to be having any kind voice....
I want a louding voice.
14-year-old Adunni has a dream: to be educated. But her father needs her bride-price, so sells his daughter to an older man, who demands she give him the fine boy-children his first two wives have failed to produce.
When things go tragically wrong, Adunni flees to Lagos. It's what she has always wanted, to leave Ikati and see the world, and though her heart is full of sorrow for her lost family and the shame she has left behind, still Adunni will not be quiet and do as she's told.
Sold again as a housemaid to a successful businesswoman, she continues to question all she sees: why Big Madam, in her big house, has a cage of sadness round her soul; what happened to Rebecca, the girl who worked in her place before; and whether it is possible, when you are born into a life of no money and plenty suffering, to become a somebody of value.

A book (and a Louding voice) that must be heard!
This was a fabulous book, and given even more vivid life through the marvellous narration. I will be recommending this one to all my friends.

The best audio performance yet and a great story.
Really enjoyed this performance. It made it better than reading the book myself. It was also a lovely story giving plenty to think about in each of the characters and their frailties.

Could not “put it down” Loved the reader and imagery & love expressed through the character, Adunni, in the first person
I liked the writer’s extraordinary capacity to enable the reader to enter into the lives of the characters, Kofi; Khadija; Ms Tia
I disliked very little.( i benefitted by having a hard copy of the book to read alongside listening. I think I missed some meaning with the narrator without reading the text, but loved being able to have both to enjoy this book.

Plunged me into her world.
The narration was probably one of the best I have heard and did justice to this beautifully written narrative. I was at all times totally immersed in the world of "the girl with the Louding voice" sometimes holding my breath in anxiety for her as she shared her often harrowing experiences. I wanted so much for her to have happiness and the odds against it were so great. Brilliant

A wonderful heartfelt book
The performance was exceptional, and the story heartfelt, a real eye opener into how others are treated in the world.
