VINNARE: WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2017!
»En fantastisk berättelse om de möjligabrutala effekterna av en matriarkal revolution.« Aftonbladet Kultur
På ytan är allt som vanligt. En nigeriansk dotter som slöar i familjens pool. En barnhemsflicka, vars religiösa föräldrar döljer sin sanna natur. En amerikansk lokalpolitiker. En okammad Londontjej med trasslig bakgrund. Men något är annorlunda. Något som får deras liv att smälta samman med förödande resultat. En mäktig, märklig kraft slår rot i världen och ger tonårsflickor monumental fysisk styrka. En styrka som kan skapa fruktansvärd smärta och död. En liten justering av verkligheten, och en hel värld sätts i gungning. Makten är en spektakulär, prisbelönt roman - ambitiös, skarp och provocerande - som tar med läsaren till en alternativ verklighet där kvinnor styr, och som samtidigt kastar ljus över villkoren för allas våra egna, begränsade liv. En internationell TV-serie byggd på boken är planerad. I svensk översättning av Helena Ridelberg.
NAOMI ALDERMAN [f.1974] är en brittisk författare och professor i kreativt skrivande.

Overwhelmed by information, people become afraid and angry, unsettled and distressed, as well as more knowledgeable, educated and curious.By looking at those previous information crises, both the turmoil and the advances, Alderman asks what we can learn from the past to better understand our present, and how this might help us chart a way forward (once again), through the turbulent seas of information overload.'Alderman is one of our most surprising and delightful public intellectuals, and this book grapples wonderfully with our current schisms and their historical precedents' JON RONSON
