It was brilliant to see The Girl with the Louding Voice paperback selected for discussion on the Sky Arts Book Club Live! The show is presented by Elizabeth Day and Andi Oliver. There was also great book chat from the author, Abi Daré and The Candid Book Club. You can still watch the episode if you head over to the Sky TV Facebook page.
Andi Oliver told Good Housekeeping magazine:
“I’m obsessed with The Girl With the Louding Voice. It’s one of the best books I’ve read in such a long time. It works on so many levels. I think Abi Daré is one of the most exciting new voices in literature that I’ve read in a very long time. It’s witty, it’s challenging, it’s exciting. There’s a thriller running through it.
I’m definitely going to be giving that to a couple of people, one of which is my aunt who lives in Antigua. She loves to read. Whenever I go to Antigua, I take her the books I’m most excited about, so I’m going to be taking her The Girl With the Louding Voice.”
Elizabeth Day says on Women’s Prize for Fiction:
“I have just finished The Girl with the Louding Voice by Abi Daré, and I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t already read it. It is such a vibrant, tender, beautiful novel and the heroine is this 14-year-old girl who has such a feisty spirit that I just fell in love with her, and fell in love with the book.”
