Vox is de debuutroman van Christina Dalcher, afgestudeerd in de linguïstiek. Voor lezers van A Handmaid's Tale is dit dé volgende keuze. Is Vox even goed als de bestseller van Margaret Atwood (nu te zien op Netflix)?

Vox

Set in a United States in which 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 one hundred words per day, Dr. Jean McClellan is in denial. This can't happen here. Not in America. Not to her.

This is just the beginning...

Soon women are not permitted to hold jobs. Girls are not taught to read or write. Females no longer have a voice. Before, the average person spoke sixteen thousand words each day, but now women have only one hundred to make themselves heard.

...not the end.

For herself, her daughter, and every woman silenced, Jean will reclaim her voice.
