Het meisje met de luidende stem

Adunni grows up in an impoverished Nigerian rural village. She knows what she wants: education. This, her mother told her, is the only way to have a ‘loud voice’ that allows you to stand up for yourself. When Adunni’s mother dies, her father sells her as a bride to a taxi driver to pay his debts. After several traumatic experiences, Adunni flees to Lagos where she faces new challenges and hardships. Despite seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Adunni never gives up hope for a better future. By using a combination of local English dialect, more formal English, and Nigerian Pidgin, author Abi Daré succeeds in creating a language to give voice to a young Nigerian woman who is determined to be heard. The language mirrors Adunni’s personality and her coming of age over the course of the story. A powerful novel that has been skilfully translated into Dutch; this translation received the award for Best Book in Translation for Youngsters in 2022.
