‘VOX is intelligent, suspenseful, provocative, and intensely disturbing – everything a great novel should be.’
Lee Child
‘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
‘This book will blow your mind. The Handmaid’s Tale meets Only Ever Yours meets The Power. Read it and shout about it in more than 100 words if you need to.’

‘A novel ripe for the era of #MeToo.’
Vanity Fair
‘A bold, brilliant and unforgettable debut.’
Alice Feeney
‘A truly compulsive novel.’
