Two novels, one extraordinary voice. This collection gathers Abi Daré’s best-known story alongside a companion installment that deepens the arc of Adunni’s resilience. Readers will appreciate the emotional through-line: a fierce determination to learn, the power of education as liberation, and the courage to speak truth to power. The set offers a binge-reading experience—two complete narratives that complement each other, revealing the emotional breadth and social nuance of Nigerian life, class, and ambition. The set is accessible to a wide audience: fans of literary fiction and contemporary drama, students studying modern African literature, or gift buyers seeking powerful, award-winning storytelling. Owning the two titles together creates a strong collectible impression on shelves or book stacks, a talking point in any book club, and a meaningful reminder that one voice can ignite change. This is more than a reading list—it’s a journey through courage, community, and the ripple effects of speaking out.

Books Included in This Collection:
And So I Roar
Plucky fourteen-year-old Adunni is in Lagos, excited to finally enrol in school. But it’s not so simple to run away from your past. In this instalment, Adunni confronts her origins in Ikati and the choices that shaped her. This book captures the moment when determination meets adversity and the drive to build a future that will empower other girls.

When tragedy strikes, Adunni flees to Lagos, becoming a house-girl to the cruel Big Madam. Life grows harder, but Adunni refuses to be silenced. Her courage, grit, and relentless hope push her toward a future where her voice finally matters—and someone hears her.
