"The Power is our era's The Handmaid's Tale." --Ron Charles, Washington Post
"Novels based on premises like the one at the core of The Power can quickly become little more than thought experiments, but Alderman dodges this trap deftly -- her writing is beautiful, and her intelligence seems almost limitless. She also has a pitch-dark sense of humor that she wields perfectly." --Michael Schaub, NPR
**WINNER OF THE 2017 BAILEYS WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION**
What would happen if women suddenly possessed a fierce new power?
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.

前半段不錯,後半段就非常的disturbing瞭。不過總體的格局/創意還是很好的。

評分最近突破自己的comfort zone一直在讀urban fantasy. 幾個POV我最愛ROXY,為她揪心。Allie開掛開的有些莫名其妙和順暢。後半段有些弱瞭下去。

評分反烏托邦也好,科幻也好,這本書算是時下流行的題材。仔細想想纔發覺一頭一尾的書信是發生在戰爭之後,人們過瞭五韆年重建之後發生的。
