The Power - Naomi Alderman [Spoilers]


Blue Roses

Recommended Posts

Can't see a topic on this or discussion. Caught my eye as it is plugged by Margaret Atwood who I love.

Thought it would be pretty average, and it started off a bit weak but got stronger throughout. The Balkans sections were particularly strong. The depictions of rape and the exploration of this in the letters at the end, mirror the endless discussions about female rape being a plot device in today's MSM. 

The bitten fruit in the archaeological finds was a very good touch. Also the very last line was bleakly funny as well. Definitely worth a read.
