From Little Stack
One day, with little warning, the physical power men held over women was flipped. All over the world, girls could inflict agonizing pain, even going so far as killing if desired. What happens to the world when the power dynamic suddenly shifts? The Power dismantles the idea that women are somehow softer or gentler and shows the absolute power fury can have on a global scale.
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.
