Reviews
"For diversion (also important in these times), I highly recommend two writers of speculative fiction, Charlie Jane Anders and Naomi Alderman." -- Ayelet Waldman , "By the Book" column, New York Times Book Review, " The Power is the stuff of superhero fiction....What starts out as a fantasy of female empowerment deepens and darkens into an interrogation of power itself, its uses and abuses and what it does to the people who have it....her breakout work." -- Claire Armitstead , The Guardian, "By gleefully replacing the protocols of one gender with another, Alderman has created a thrilling narrative stuffed with provocative scenarios and thought experiments. The Power is a blast." -- Suzi Feay , Financial Times UK, "An instant classic of speculative fiction....Smart, readable and joyously achieved." -- Justine Jordan , Guardian UK, "When we say that The Power is profoundly disturbing and you may well want to argue with it as you read, we mean that in a good way." -- SFX, Five Stars, "What starts out as a fantasy of female empowerment deepens and darkens into an interrogation of power itself, its uses and abuses and what it does to the people who have it."-- Guardian UK, "The Power is a subtly funny, lyrical and utterly subversive vision of an impossible future. As all the best visionaries do, Alderman shines a penetrating and yet merciful light on to our present and the so many cruelties in which we may be complicit."-- A.L. Kennedy, Praise for The Power: "Electrifying! Shocking! Will knock your socks off! Then you'll think twice, about everything." -- Margaret Atwood, "Like the best science fiction, this dystopian feminist fantasy holds up a mirror to the here and now." -- Mail on Sunday UK, "Please, please, PLEASE read Naomi Alderman's The Power. It'll crack your brain open in all the right ways. Such an important, timely book." -- Literary Death Match, "Fascinating....as a whole the narrative feels ingenious....deserves to be read by every woman (and, for that matter, every man)." -- The Times UK, "Gripping and disturbing, it pushes the reader -- even the confidently feminist reader -- to question the assumptions underlying many of the mechanisms that drive relationships between women and men." -- Harper's Bazaar UK

She also has a pitch-dark sense of humor that she wields perfectly." --Michael Schaub, NPR 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., In this stunning bestseller praised as "our era's Handmaid's Tale ," a fierce new power has emerged--and only women have it ( Washington Post ).
