The Girl With The Louding Voice utilizes a unique narrative style with a first-person perspective, told in broken English, mirroring the protagonist Adunni's voice as a young, uneducated Nigerian girl. The story portrays Adunni's journey from her rural village where she is forced into an arranged marriage to a man significantly older than her, to her escape and subsequent pursuit of education and independence in Lagos. Through Adunni's experiences, the novel highlights the challenges faced by young women in Nigeria, including poverty, forced marriage, and limited access to education. The text also draws attention to the stark socio-economic disparities within the country and the complexities of navigating a patriarchal society.
