About the Books. In VOX: Silence Can Be Deafening, Jean McClellan lives under a regime that limits women to just one hundred spoken words a day, enforced by an electric shock counter worn on the wrist. When a new government strips women of jobs, bank accounts, and passports, and girls are denied an education, Jean is forced to find a way to reclaim her voice — for herself, her daughter, and every silenced woman around her. It is a taut, urgent story about what happens when a society decides who gets to speak.. In Q: In This World, Perfection is Everything, teacher Elena Fairchild works within a national testing system designed to reward high intelligence scores with elite education. She believes in its fairness — until her own daughter tests below expectations and is taken to a government institute for "correction." Following her daughter into this hidden system, Elena uncovers the terrible cost of a world obsessed with perfection. Both novels showcase Dalcher's skill for building tense, believable near-future worlds grounded in real anxieties about control, conformity, and family.. Two full-length paperback novels from a Sunday Times bestselling author. Thought-provoking dystopian fiction perfect for book clubs. Strong, determined female protagonists fighting oppressive systems. Ideal gift for fans of The Handmaid's Tale and speculative fiction. Brand new condition, published by HQ (HarperCollins). Great value two-in-one collection set. About the Author. Christina Dalcher is a linguist, novelist, and flash fiction writer living in the American South.
