Power

In this stunning bestseller praised as "our era&#39;s Handmaid&#39;s Tale," a fierce new power has emerged&mdash;and only women have it (Washington Post).&#160;<br /> <br /> In The Power, the world is a recognizable place: there&#39;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, 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.<br /> <br /> "Captivating, fierce, and unsettling...I was riveted by every page. Alderman&#39;s prose is immersive and, well, electric."&#160;&mdash;New York Times Book Review
