The aim was to improve the genetic quality of American citizens, but it was more about preserving the right kind of people. There is a long history of eugenics on American soil and one that can still be seen in modern history. Specifically, the shady part of America’s past that inspired the Nazis. For her follow up novel, she took inspiration from actual history. Women don’t exactly have it easy in this one but at least it wasn’t another literary world specifically created to torture women into submission.Ĭhristina Dalcher took inspiration from literary history with Vox, her pale imitation The Handmaid’s Tale. I guess, on the plus side, Dalcher has taken a broader approach. When I wrote my review of Christina Dalcher’s previous novel, I discussed the rise of feminist dystopia and how bored I was with it. The question is, was the book worth it? I wasn’t exactly expecting a great deal from this book because I really hadn’t thought much of Vox. Thankfully, I did manage it and I didn’t end up being too late a night. After all, I had already included it in my August Reading Wrap-Up and I didn’t want to miss my book count of 10. I stayed up way too late on the 31st August to make sure that I finished this damn book before the month was over. As we’ve already discussed, I’m a petty and stubborn person.
