Do yourself a huge favor and listen to the audiobook version!!! The narrators voice is so beautiful and she adds so much to the telling of the story with her inflection and her singing. Truly the most emotive and moving narrator I’ve ever listened to. 

The story is a bit slow in the beginning, with just tragedy after tragedy for our poor young protagonist, a fourteen year old girl named Adunni. I found that things started to pick up about halfway through, when Adunni actually began to see a path for her life to be different. Ultimately the book is about a girl’s resilience in the face of a culture that attempted to commodify her against her will, and the importance of access to education for all. The Girl with the Louding Voice is an emotional roller coaster and an impactful read.
