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 to speak 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.

Inhaltswarnung Spoiler non sul contenuto ma comunque sul finale

Questo libro è... non lo so. La costruzione dell'universo narrativo nella prima metà è credibile e piacevole, ma diavolo, negli ultimi 10-15 capitoli praticamente succede tutto off-camera, tutto si risolve autonomamente, tutto si conclude da solo, puoi anche cancellare la protagonista e la macchina cammina da sola. In sintesi: Ma porca miseria.

Review of 'Vox' on 'Goodreads'

4 Sterne

Extremely exciting especially at the end. (last 20%)
A bit confusing to follow all the different strands, but maybe it's a good reference to how our lives really are. Challenges don't wait until you think you have capacity for them.

All in all an interesting read (I got hooked up by the 100 words per day thing.).
