[Following is a volunteer review of "Madam Vice President" by Julian Mann.]
Madam Vice President by Julian Mann intricately weaves the story of Victoria Pierce, who, while living as a farm worker under the abusive Lucinda Pierce, secretly studies for and passes the high school equivalency exam. Discovered by reporter Grace Brandon, Victoria's mysterious background becomes the subject of investigation. As the narrative unfolds, Victoria ascends to the role of a high-ranking military officer and adviser to a presidential campaign, all the while concealing her true identity in the intricate world of politics. The brilliance of the book lies in its vision of a woman breaking through the ultimate glass ceiling in American politics, evolving from Vice President to President. This empowering narrative not only resonates with readers but also conveys a powerful message – that women can indeed achieve the highest offices. Victoria Pierce, the main character, stands out as a strong and complex female protagonist, exemplifying success through determination, intelligence, and hard work. Her journey serves as an inspiring role model for female readers, emphasizing the potential for success against all odds.
What sets the book apart is its meticulous research, offering a realistic portrayal of American political processes, including primaries, conventions, and campaigns. This authenticity lends credibility to the plot, transforming it into a gripping political thriller. The fast-paced narrative, coupled with well-executed plot twists, keeps readers on the edge of their seats, eager to witness how Victoria navigates the complex challenges and crises thrown her way. I rate Madam Vice President 5 out of 5 stars. This compelling read is highly recommended for enthusiasts of crime thrillers. Notably, the book stands out for its exceptional editing, devoid of errors, and throughout my reading, I found no negative aspects to detract from the overall enjoyment of the story. Beyond its thrilling plot, the book delves into crucial societal issues, including gender discrimination, political clashes between progressives and traditionalists, and the intricate balance between personal relationships and public duties. This thought-provoking exploration adds depth to the narrative, providing readers with substantial material to ponder.
