VOX by Christina DalcherÂ
Proof copy ( giveaway win ) - 336 PagesÂ
Publisher - HarperCollinsÂ
Rating - đđđđ
Purchase Links - Amazon UK / Book Depository / WaterstonesÂ
SynopsisÂ
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 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.
Review
Vox is one of those books that completely pulls you in and refuses to let you go until the last page. I absolutely loved this book even though it has the power to completely enrage and terrify you all at the same time, but what a novel Christina Dalcher has written! I don't want to say too much about this as I think it a fantastic novel to dive into knowing only that woman can't speak more than a 100 words per day anymore and a counter attached to your arm will administer a thousand volts of electricity through your body. Vox was such a fantastic concept, and I know I'll be thinking about this novel for a long time. I actually loved Jean and all her family even with all there faults I still wanted to get behind them all, and I loved how the author explored everything to do with communication, sign language, a simple gesture as blowing a kiss, writing, reading nothing was allowed! Even socialising what would be the point you could barely speak it's so terrifying how isolated these woman become. All in all a fantastic bone chilling dystopian that will leave you utterly enraged and desperate for more! A complete knockout of a read.

Mais uma vez Dalcher aborda temas presentes no dia a dia atravĂ©s de um romance distĂłpico que nos deixa apreensivos por apresentar situaçÔes nada difĂceis de imaginarmos se tornando realidade. Indo alĂ©m de somente tratar da eugenia acontecendo novamente, a histĂłria aprofunda nas relaçÔes que mantemos ao longo da vida, em como temos influĂȘncia nas açÔes do outro quando falamos sem considerar as consequĂȘncias. QuestĂŁo de Classe gira em torno da Dra. Elena Fairchild, uma professora de biologia em uma escola de alto rendimento. No romance, crianças e adolescentes sĂŁo divididos com base na nota que tiram em um exame mensal, nomeado nota Q, e carregam essa avaliação pelo restante da vida, definindo todos os seus aspectos, incluindo se farĂŁo ou nĂŁo uma faculdade e onde podem trabalhar. Ă atravĂ©s do olhar de Elena que vamos tomando conhecimento desse novo sistema de segregação adotado nos EUA, que impĂ”e Ă população a busca constante por uma perfeição por vezes quase inatingĂvel. #bookworm #booknerd #bookpic #questaodeclasse #masterclass #christinadalcher #instabook #reading #bookstagram #instareading (at GuaxupĂ©, Minas Gerais, Brazil) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNQfoPsl_9x/?igshid=1toexkksee0kr

#PRHPartner #pubday . đ Happy Pub Day to MASTER CLASS by Christina Dalcher đ This is the 2nd speculative thriller by Dalcher following the highly praised release of VOX last year. This book is another dystopian novel that will leave you chilled to the bone. . đ . Every child's potential is regularly determined by a standardized measurement: their quotient (Q). Score high enough, and attend a top tier school with a golden future. Score too low, and it's off to a federal boarding school with limited prospects afterwards. The purpose? An improved society where education costs drop, teachers focus on the more promising students, and parents are happy. Elena Fairchild is a teacher at one of the state's elite schools. When her nine-year-old daughter bombs a monthly test and her Q score drops to a disastrously low level, she is immediately forced to leave her top school for a federal institution hundreds of miles away. As a teacher, Elena thought she understood the tiered educational system, but as a mother whose child is now gone, Elena's perspective is changed forever. She just wants her daughter back. And she will do the unthinkable to make it happen. . đ . #masterclass #christinadalcher #berkleybooks #booktour #speculativethriller #dystopiannovel #coverlove #jennblogsbooks #bookstagram #Bibliophile #unitedbookstagram #bookobsessed #booksbooksbooks #lovetoread #allthebooks #bookphoto #booktography #bookflatlay https://www.instagram.com/p/B_QxbcslnP-/?igshid=gs29smqhylc8

Imaginons que les femmes nâaient plus leur mot Ă dire âŠ
Telle est lâidĂ©e de cette saisissante et nĂ©cessaire dystopie écrite Ă la premiĂšre personne qui nous met dans la peau de Jean Mc Clellan, dans un futur proche, aux Etats-Unis. Cette mĂšre de quatre enfants est une ancienne docteure en neurosciences spĂ©cialisĂ©e dans le trouble du langage. Elle essaie de rĂ©sister Ă lâignominie dans un contexte politique et social effroyable quâelle nâa pas vu venir, trop occupĂ©e Ă travailler seule dans sa bulle lorsquâelle Ă©tait en fin dâĂ©tudes, hypnotisĂ©e par ses recherches scientifiques autour de lâaphasie, loin des manifestation qui avaient lieu pendant ce temps... Aujouârdhui, comme toutes les autres femmes du pays, cette hĂ©roĂŻne nâa plus le droit dâexercer sa profession et est rĂ©duite au quasi mutisme puisquâelle est seulement autorisĂ©e Ă utiliser cent mots chaque jour, pas un de plus, autrement une dĂ©charge Ă©lectrique de 100 volts provenant dâun bracelet Ă son poignet la dissuadera de le faire. Un comble pour cette spĂ©cialiste du langage amoureuse des mots. Evidemment, les passeports des femmes ont Ă©tĂ© confisquĂ©s et les bĂ©bĂ©s de sexe fĂ©minin nâen auront tout bonnement pas. âComment cela a-t-il pu se produire?â, me demanderez-vous.
Progressivement et insidieusement. Par l'accĂšs au pouvoir dâun fondamentaliste chrĂ©tien convaincant, Ă©lu de façon inattendue par de nombreux fidĂšles extrĂ©mistes que le reste de la population pensait minoritaires tant les arguments prĂŽnĂ©s par ce prĂ©sident semblaient aberrants et risibles: trop de visibilitĂ© LGBT, un oubli de la virilitĂ© de lâHomme au profit dâune exagĂ©ration de sa vulnĂ©rabilitĂ©, une masculinisation de la Femme, la perte de repĂšres avec toutes ces questions de genre, la Femme qui dĂ©verse une logorrhĂ©e insupportable et calomnieuse depuis le #Metoo..- et pourtant...cela a convaincu les Ă©lecteurs qui se sont sentis menacĂ©s par la modernitĂ© de la sociĂ©tĂ© et ont voulu revenir Ă une conception archaĂŻque plus rassurante, plus contrĂŽlable... Â
âMais comment cela a-t-il pu se produireâ??, me rĂ©pĂ©terez-vous agacĂ©.e.s. Sans doute Ă Â force de regarder sans agir, de penser que personne nâĂ©couterait un tel propos arriĂ©rĂ© et rigoriste, que les paroles de haine ne pourraient jamais devenir la norme, que les gens ne tolĂšreraient pas « ça », quâil serait toujours temps de rĂ©agir, plus tard...procrastinant passivement jusquâau jour oĂč le plus tard est devenu trop tard.

Ainsi, petit Ă petit le gouvernement a exclu les femmes jusquâĂ ce que demeurent uniquement des reprĂ©sentants masculins ostensiblement misogynes. Puis se sont immiscĂ©s dans la politique le culte de la PuretĂ© (chacun des habitants -homme aussi bien que femme- pouvant possĂ©der un joli petit âPâ brodĂ© sur sa tenue monochrome en signe de ralliement) et le rĂšgne du Patriarcat.
Comme toutes les autres femmes, Jean Mc Clellan nâa donc plus voix au chapitre de la vie sociale et politique. Pour le dictateur et ceux qui le soutiennent, la Femme doit rester toute la journĂ©e derriĂšre les fourneaux et ĂȘtre rĂ©duite Ă jouer le rĂŽle de lâĂ©pouse parfaite et soumise lorsque le mari rentre extĂ©nuĂ© de son dur labeur. Sans rĂ©ellement avoir le temps de rĂ©agir, les femmes se retrouvent alors enfermĂ©es chez elles sous le regard de nombreuses camĂ©ras installĂ©es qui les observent et les traquent tel Big Brother dans 1984 dâOrwell. Mais ce nâest pas tout: les femmes, quel que soit leur Ăąge, portent obligatoirement au poignet le bracelet particulier dont je vous parlais plus haut,  à savoir un compte-mots rĂ©glĂ© sur cent et renouvelĂ© seulement toutes les vingt-quatre heures. Ce bracelet -dont elles peuvent choisir la couleur puisque toute femme est Ă©videmment coquette et fĂ©minine, cela va sans dire...!- envoie une puissante dĂ©charge Ă©lectrique puissante Ă celles qui osent prononcer plus de cent mots dans la journĂ©e. Faites-le test: en quelques phrases, on dĂ©passe extrĂȘmement vite ce quota !Â
Puisquâil compte bien rester Ă la tĂȘte du pays ad vitam aeternam, le prĂ©sident a formellement interdit aux femmes lâaccĂšs aux livres, aux ordinateurs et plus aucun stylo nâest autorisĂ© non plus. Cela permet dâabĂȘtir et de manipuler aisĂ©ment la moitiĂ© dâune population qui ne peut plus ni sâinstruire ni Ă©crire... Face Ă lâabsence de ces outils, on est touchĂ© par le vibrant hommage que rend Christina Dalcher au pouvoir des mots, des livres, de la culture.Â

Quant aux opposants au rĂ©gime et aux homosexuels, sâils ne sont pas directement tuĂ©s, ils sont dĂ©tenus dans des camps de travaux forcĂ©s et muselĂ©s d'un compte-mots rĂ©glĂ© sur zĂ©ro. Impossible de sâexprimer, donc. Dans lâespoir illusoire quâils retrouvent âle droit cheminâ de lâhĂ©tĂ©rosexualitĂ©, l'homme et la femme doivent cohabiter Ă deux dans une toute petite celluleâŠLoin des camps de ces exilĂ©s, en ville et en plein jour, les militaires et « la police de la fornication » sont lĂ pour sâoccuper de tout comportement quâils jugent immoral. Les personnes arrĂȘtĂ©es, qui ont aussi pu ĂȘtre dĂ©noncĂ©es par nâimporte quel citoyen, sont alors tondues et lynchĂ©es en place publique. Elles rencontrent ensuite sur une scĂšne le rĂ©vĂ©rend Carl qui leur parle de façon odieuse, dâune voix doucereuse, malsaine et humiliante. Cela est diffusĂ© sur toutes les tĂ©lĂ©visions du pays au beau milieu de nâimporte quel programme (mĂȘme si chaque chaĂźne est Ă©videmment contrĂŽlĂ©e) pour dissuader celles et ceux qui voudraient se rĂ©volter de le faire. Dans les lycĂ©es de garçons, les Ă©lĂšves voient la vidĂ©o et doivent insulter tous ensemble la victime, comme si elle nâĂ©tait pas assez couverte dâopprobre..Â

Toute ressemblance avec cette photographie de Robert Capa nommée la tondue de Chartres, est évidemment fortuite...
Face au systĂšme mis en place sous les yeux dâune population fantoche, la situation semble inextricable. Mais, un jour, le frĂšre du prĂ©sident est victime dâun AVC qui lui provoque une aphasie (de Wernicke pour ĂȘtre prĂ©cise). Le RĂ©vĂ©rend Carl, connaissant le talent de la neuroscientifique Jean Mc Clellan, lui propose alors un marchĂ©: si cette derniĂšre trouve un remĂšde, elle et sa cadette Sonia seront momentanĂ©ment libĂ©rĂ©es de leurs bracelets compte-mots. Jean refuse dâabord de pactiser avec lâincarnation du diable. Cependant, elle sait quâĂ Â cause de lâinstrument de torture vissĂ© Ă son petit poignet, sa fille a un retard important au niveau de la parole puisque, dans un souci dâĂ©conomie de mots, elle ne sait pas construire de phrases grammaticalement correctes. Le dilemme devient alors cornĂ©lien.
Pour la convaincre, le rĂ©vĂ©rend la menace: si jamais elle refuse, Jean devra porter au poignet un bracelet encore plus destructeur qui lui enlĂšvera dix mots au lieu dâun seul si elle sâĂ©nerve, jure ou se rebelle. Elle sera Ă©galement contrainte de rĂ©citer chaque jour Ă voix haute dans un micro ceci: â Je crois que lâhomme a Ă©tĂ© crĂ©Ă© Ă lâimage de Dieu et que la femme est la gloire de lâhomme, que lâhomme nâa pas Ă©tĂ© fait Ă partir de la femme mais que la femme a Ă©tĂ© faite Ă partir de lâhommeâ. RĂ©vulsant.Â
De nombreuses questions se posent donc: qu'adviendra-t-il de Jean et de sa cadette dĂšs que le remĂšde sera trouvĂ©? Et si cette sĂ©duisante proposition cachait quelque chose de pire encore, dâinimaginable...?
Je vous laisse lire cette dystopie de Christina Dalcher qui va vous refroidir en cette pĂ©riode de canicule, mais attention, vous risquez de rester sans voix et dâavoir froid dans le dos.Â

Ayer acabĂ© con la CanciĂłn de Cazarrabo y al hacer repaso para ver quĂ© libro leerĂa despuĂ©s e ir haciendo una selecciĂłn para luego decidirme por uno este libro se colĂł directamente y con descaro. EmpecĂ© a leer la primera pĂĄgina par ver quĂ© tal y terminĂ© leyendo varios capĂtulos. La premisa en la ambientaciĂłn es muy calcada de El Cuento de la Criada.
