In this riveting sequel to "The Girl With The Louding Voice", Abi Daré brings back the indomitable Adunni and her mentor Ms Tia, thrusting them into a gripping tale of confronting one's past and finding the strength to stand up for oneself. Hailed as "fresh, funny and fiercely feminist" by the Mail on Sunday, this empowering narrative packs a powerful punch.
Fourteen-year-old Adunni, having escaped her rural village, finds herself in Lagos under the care of the compassionate Tia. On the cusp of beginning her long-awaited education, Adunni's dreams are interrupted by an urgent summons back to her home village of Ikati. As Tia desperately attempts to shield her young charge, Adunni must muster the courage to not only save herself but also fight for the futures of all the girls in her village.
Daré's masterful storytelling weaves together themes of hope, love, and the inherent power within us all. The novel tackles pressing issues through often-overlooked perspectives, giving voice to those seldom heard. Readers have praised the book as "unputdownable", "simultaneously heartbreaking and joyful", and "a triumphant continuation of Adunni's journey".
Prepare to be swept away into a world where resilience shines brightest in the darkest of times. "And So I Roar" is a captivating tale that will leave you breathless, smiling one moment and tearing up the next. It's a story that lingers long after the final page is turned, reminding us of the transformative power of education and the strength of the human spirit.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
