À propos de cet audio

 THE NATIONAL BESTSELLER • ONE OF ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY'S AND SHEREADS' BOOKS TO READ AFTER THE HANDMAID'S TALE

“[An] electrifying debut.”—O, The Oprah Magazine
“The real-life parallels will make you shiver.”—Cosmopolitan

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.

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.

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

This is just the beginning...not the end.

Ce que les critiques en disent

PRAISE FOR VOX

“Christina Dalcher’s debut novel, set in a recognizable near future and sure to beg comparisons to Margaret Atwood’s dystopian The Handmaid’s Tale, asks: if the number of words you could speak each day was suddenly and severely limited, what would you do to be heard? A novel ripe for the era of #MeToo, VOX (Berkley) presents an exaggerated scenario of women lacking a voice: in the United States, they are subject to a hundred-word limit per day (on average, a human utters about 16,000). Considering the threat of a society in which children like the protagonist’s six-year-old daughter are deprived of language, VOX highlights the urgency of movements like #MeToo, but also of the basic importance of language.”—Vanity Fair

“The females in Dalcher’s electrifying debut are permitted to speak just 100 words a day—and that’s especially difficult for the novel’s protagonist, Jean, a neurolinguist. A futurist thriller that feels uncomfortably plausible.”—O, The Oprah Magazine

“In Christina Dalcher’s Vox, women are only allowed to speak 100 words a day. Sounds pretty sci-fi, but the real-life parallels will make you shiver.”—Cosmopolitan

“Vox is a real page-turner that will appeal to people with big imaginations.”—Refinery29

“Fittingly, this book about women being silenced has got everybody talking and calling it The Handmaid's Tale for 2018.”—Bustle

“VOX is intelligent, suspenseful, provocative, and intensely disturbing—everything a great novel should be.”—Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“Chilling and gripping—a real page-turner.”—Karen Cleveland, New York Times bestselling author of Need to Know

“A bold, brilliant, and unforgettable debut.”—Alice Feeney, author of Sometimes I Lie

“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] provocative debut...Dalcher’s novel carries an undeniably powerful message.”—Publishers Weekly

“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

I tell everyone about this audiobook. The narrator has all the emotion and power of the words. It speaks to crisis, female empowerment and supporting one another. I’m so upset it’s over but even the ending was amazing.

WOW!WOW!WOW!

Yes, like many people have pointed out, it is a little like 'the handmaids tale'. The story is still worth a listen. And Julia Whelan is a fantastic narrator, as usual!

Interesting story

This was an enjoyable listen. Great story, Very interesting and easy to follow. The narrator was really talented and entertaining. I was hoping they would have narrated Dalcher’s next novel as well - but sadly they did not!

Great story - excellent narrator

It’s actually not like Handmaids Tale at all. No one can touch Margaret Atwood’s brilliance.
It was still a decent dystopian novel where women are robbed of all their rights and made slaves to men.
I liked the concept of 100 word a day limit that the women have to adhere to. It was an interesting take on an age old theme.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
It gets a little hairy at the end. It was a fun summer read.

Started this yesterday, once I got past the beginning chapters, could not stop. Finished it today. A real page-turner, righht until the end.
Julia Whelan was the perfect narrator. Every character's voice was right on the money.
I'll be thinking about this story for some time, until I am ready to listen to it again.
In the mean time, let me see what other novels this author has out there...
Highly recommend Vox. It's futuristic yet, after experiencing a world pandemic, could take even place in the present or very near future!

I would recommend this novel to anyone. It’s very thought provoking. While on one hand you think it could never really happen, you look around at the chaos in the world and you can suddenly see how a movement such as this could start. People are always looking for calm and you see how when your so busy with your own things you could miss something that could change your way of life. I have listened to quite a few books narrated by Julia Whelan and she always delivers a really good performance.

A Gripping Novel!

the narrator was great. Good story. A little too close to home for these days.

reminiscent of a handmaid's tale.

An absolute great begging to the book with an interesting plot and a great setting . I felt as if the end was somewhat rushed and felt as if the ending was to simplified for such a complex storyline.

Great beginning sour ending

The narrator really brought the story to life through her different voices and accents. I definitely enjoyed it more as an audiobook than I would have I read the paperback.

Excellent narration

Well written, amplified by an animated voice. I finished it in 2 days, it was supposed to be for a road trip... oops!

So good! I couldn't stop listening!
