"In The Power the world is a recognizable place: there's a rich Nigerian kid who lounges around the family pool; a foster girl whose religious parents hide their true nature; a local American politician; a tough London girl from a tricky family. But something vital has changed, causing their lives to converge with devastating effect. Teenage girls now have immense physical power- they can cause agonising pain and even death. And, with this small twist of nature, the world changes utterly.
This extraordinary novel by Naomi Alderman, a Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year and Granta Best of British writer, is not only a gripping story of how the world would change if power was in the hands of women but also exposes, with breath-taking daring, our contemporary world."
My Rating: 4.5/5
This book really grabs your attention and you're not sure where the plot is going. Right from the start, I was interested in the way the characters were developing alongside a new world. To watch the world begin to explode and change rapidly, I was curious how it would start to wrap up and what an ending it was. I don't think that I preferred the way that it wrapped, but the letters at the end really wrapped it up nicely for me.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
