The Bossy Bookworm

ICYMI: In Naomi Alderman's novel The Power, teenage girls develop unimaginable powers, including the ability to inflict harm. This resets the power structure of the world and has fascinating repercussions for the previously persecuted and helpless.
In The Power, Naomi Alderman offers a dark and fascinating look at a world where the traditional male-female and old-young power structures are turned on their heads.
The Power explores the destructive nature of the greed for control and influence--especially damaging when coupled with the certainty that your opinion is infallible and correct.
I found this book fascinating.
