Power

<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><br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br><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>
