The Girl With The Louding Voice by Abi Daré

What an absolutely incredible work of fiction. Its brilliant, powerful, emotional and so incredibly moving. I will admit that I struggled with the writing for the first little bit, but once I got used to it, I barely noticed it. Adunni, the main character, will be one I will remember for a long time with her fierce determination, ambition and strength. I think a lot of people could learn things from this character. 

While very different in content and style, this book will sit with A Thousand Splendid Suns on my favourites list.
