MAKE MORE NOISE

“Make more noise” is a collection of 10 different short stories written by UK’s best storytellers, they are as follows,

Sally Nicholls, M.G. Leonard, Patrice Lawrence, Kiran Millwood Hargrave, Katherine Woodfine, Jeanne Willis, Ella Risbridger, Emma Carroll, Ally Kennen and Catherine Johnson 

I just came to read this book by chance, one of my dearest childhood friends gifted it to me. She herself is an independent, self-made and inspiring woman, so I could not think about leaving it in my TBR and taking it for granted! At this juncture, I take pleasure in thanking her for her wonderful gift 

Each story is uniquely distinct from the other, cultivating the significance and seriousness of many things (that have sometimes gone undervalued or unseen) that we own in the present day. 

In saying this, this book was published to commemorate the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in the UK

I loved the TITLE of each story in the book. I thoroughly enjoyed every story and my favourite ones are, “Out for the Count”, “Tea and Jam”, “On your Bike” and “The Otter Path”. 

“If you want things to change, you've got to speak up. You have to fight for what you want”. (Tea and Jam by Katherine Woodfine)

The aforementioned quote kept me thinking that many little and great things that we currently relish, enjoy or swear about, are the things that were once longed for and fought for!
