# The Power - Paperback

[**Report copyright infringement**](https://reportcopyrightinfringement.com/)

by **Naomi Alderman** (Author)

**In this stunning bestseller that inspired the Amazon Prime series, praised as "our era's _Handmaid's Tale_," a fierce new power has emerged--and only women have it (_Washington Post_).**

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.

**"Captivating, fierce, and unsettling...I was riveted by every page. Alderman's prose is immersive and, well, electric." --_New York Times Book Review_**
