In THE POWER, 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. 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, THE POWER 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.
