Vox
Silence can be deafening.
Jean McClellan spends her time in almost complete silence, limited to just one hundred words a day. Any more, and a thousand volts of electricity will course through her veins.
Now the new government is in power, everything has changed. But only if you’re a woman.
Almost overnight, bank accounts are frozen, passports are taken away and seventy million women lose their jobs. Even more terrifyingly, young girls are no longer taught to read or write.
For herself, her daughter, and for every woman silenced, Jean will reclaim her voice. This is only the beginning…

Jenn Thornley –
From the Book Club Meeting:
Some very mixed reviews from this evening’s meeting. Some people really enjoyed this book and found the concept quite terrifying as it didn’t feel completely beyond the realms of possiblity. Others really struggled to get into the book, weren’t fans of the characters and thought the end was really rushed and a bit too convenient. You can tell the author drew inspiration from The Handmaid’s Tale in writing this book, although we just didn’t feel it lived up to it’s predecessor.
Overall, Vox averaged 2.5*
