Silence can be deafening.

Jean McClellan spends her time in almost complete silence, limited to just one hundred words a day. Any more, and a thousand volts of electricity will course through her veins.

Now the new government is in power, everything has changed. But only if you’re a woman.

Almost overnight, bank accounts are frozen, passports are taken away and seventy million women lose their jobs. Even more terrifyingly, young girls are no longer taught to read or write.

For herself, her daughter, and for every woman silenced, Jean will reclaim her voice. This is only the beginning…

I loved the premise of this story. And there was a lot about what happens is so disturbing. I found some of the plot points a bit distracting (Lorenzo mainly) but over all a great story and a somewhat great ending. I wish we had of actually learned about what happened in Patrick's final meeting at the end.
