Good Read: The Girl With The Louding Voice - Abi Dare

  In this remarkable story, Adunni, the main character, depicts ambition fuelled with a burning desire to succeed despite all odds. Tales of this type still abound in Lagos, and they are portrayed in the media daily. Adunni is hailed as the poor girl with a rich mind, "Sherlock Holmes," who never stops asking intelligent questions, a child-bride, and a strong-willed girl who grew up fast due to the circumstance her parents put her through. However, she had the guts to pursue the life she wanted. - An education by any means necessary.  Adunni finally got her groove back after reading such an easy book, I could relate to the characters there. the harsh and despicable reality of Lagos till date. I would recommend this book to my friends and would love to see it turned into a film.

Good Read: Stay With Me By Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀

When I read this book a week ago, from the reviews I thought it would be all about a woman's love. Well it was about a woman's love, naivety and sacrifice she would have to make all in the name of relationships and family conformity...


If Yejide knew the true state of her smooth operator of a husband's sexual health, would she have stayed that long? Could this be seen as a dis-advantage to her because she was shut to the world of sexual health of which are not taught in schools; but the second wife was well aware  of due to her experience with men, which unfortunately led to her death.

Well the twists and turns in the book was well worth the read to the end. Something good came out of it - A yearn to stay alive!

If DNA was issued before birth certificates, only God knows what heart ache it would save or create.

Have you read "Stay With Me", what is your take on the novel? Kindly share your thoughts - Thank You.
