Items related to Vox (Thorndike Press Large Print Core)
One of Entertainment Weekly's and SheReads' books to read after The Handmaid's Tale Set in an America where half the population has been silenced, VOX is the harrowing, unforgettable story of what one woman will do to protect herself and her daughter. On the day the government decrees that women are no longer allowed more than 100 words daily, Dr. Jean McClellan is in denial--this can't happen here. Not in America. Not to her. This is just the beginning. Soon women can no longer hold jobs. Girls are no longer taught to read or write. Females no longer have a voice. Before, the average person spoke sixteen thousand words a day, but now women only have one hundred to make themselves heard. But this is not the end. For herself, her daughter, and every woman silenced, Jean will reclaim her voice.

PRAISE FOR VOX: "VOX is intelligent, suspenseful, provocative, and intensely disturbing - everything a great novel should be."--Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author "With language crystalline and gleaming, and a narrative that really moves, Christina Dalcher both cautions and captivates. The names that come to mind are Margaret Atwood, George Orwell, and Aldous Huxley--had Orwell and Huxley had a taste of the information age. VOX is a book for the dystopic present. It woke me up."--Melissa Broder, author of The Pisces "A petrifying re-imagining of The Handmaid's Tale in the present and a timely reminder of the power and importance of language."--Marta Bausells, ELLE UK "This book will blow your mind. The Handmaid's Tale meets Only Ever Yours meets The Power."--Nina Pottell, Prima
