About this Event
We are over the moon to be welcome Abi Dare in October, reknowned author of Horsham favourite GIRL WITH THE LOUDING VOICE , to celelbrate the release of her new novel AND SO I ROAR.
Plucky fourteen-year-old Adunni is in Lagos, excited to finally enrol in school. Having escaped her rural village in a desperate bid to seek a better future, she's found refuge with Tia, a kind and brilliant woman on her own troubled journey of self-discovery.
But it's not so simple to run away from your past.
On the night before she is due to join her new classmates for her first lesson, a terrible knocking at the front gate summons Adunni back to her home village, Ikati, where her dramatic story of resilience first began.
As Tia frantically tries to protect her from an uncertain fate, Adunni must try to save not only herself but all the young women of her village, and transform Ikati into a place where girls are allowed to claim the bright futures they deserve - and roar their stories to the world.
Please join us in welcoming Abi to Horsham for a fantastic evening, including a talk and signing opportunity.
Copies of the book will be available to purchase on the night.
