The Power -- Naomi Alderman

<b>In this stunning bestseller praised as "our era's <i>Handmaid's Tale</i>," a fierce new power has emerged--and only women have it (<i>Washington Post</i>). </b> <p/>In <i>The Power</i>, the world is a recognizable place: there's a rich Nigerian boy who lounges around the family pool; a foster kid whose religious parents hide their true nature; an ambitious American politician; a tough London girl from a tricky family. <p/>But then a vital new force takes root and flourishes, causing their lives to converge with devastating effect. Teenage girls now have immense physical power: they can cause agonizing pain and even death. And, with this small twist of nature, the world drastically resets. From award-winning author Naomi Alderman, <i>The Power</i> is speculative fiction at its most ambitious and provocative, at once taking us on a thrilling journey to an alternate reality, and exposing our own world in bold and surprising ways. <p/><b>"Captivating, fierce, and unsettling...I was riveted by every page. Alderman's prose is immersive and, well, electric." --<i>New York Times Book Review</i></b><br><br><b>Author:</b> Naomi Alderman<br><b>Publisher:</b> Back Bay Books<br><b>Published:</b> 01/08/2019<br><b>Pages:</b> 400<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.75lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.10h x 5.50w x 1.10d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780316547604<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Naomi Alderman</b> is the recipient of the 2017 Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction for The Power.
