The national best seller
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 100 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 16,000 words a day, but now women have only 100 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.
One of Good Morning America's “Best Books to Bring to the Beach This Summer”
One of PopSugar, Refinery29, Entertainment Weekly, Bustle, Real Simple, i09, and Amazon's Best Books to Read in August 2018.

Critic reviews
"Narrator Julia Whelan brings this realistic, thought-provoking debut to life with heart.... A frighteningly believable story that ends with hope." (AudioFile)
Editorial Review
100 Words…is the length of this paragraph! Vox has a great hook: what if women could speak only 100 words each day? But men and boys aren’t limited *at all*? Well, at the start of the novel, our heroine, Dr. Jean McClellan, is pretty tired from holding in all her thoughts and feelings…and resentful of her own beloved husband and sons. In the tradition of The Handmaid’s Tale, Vox makes dystopia feel contemporary and plausible. Although the novel is a little long, and I disagree with some of Jean’s choices, I enjoyed the performance by Julia Whelan, one of my favorite narrators. She makes every word count! —Christina H., Audible Editor

Firstly, Julia Whelan has to be one of the best narrators out there. I have listened to more books by searching via her name. She’s a keeper!!!
The story was quite different to Handmaid’s Tale, which is good for both authors, so it’s not really fair to compare it. The story wasn’t just about the 100 words neither and moved quickly onto her work, for the government, so the comparison to HMT is that it felt less traumatic.
I felt sorry for the main character’s husband. She and her family didn’t really even grieve for him and it was all a little convenient at the end.
Easy to listen to and great for a solo road trip.
