REVOLVE Reads is starting a NEW BOOK! The Power by Naomi Alderman

The Power portrays a world where, very suddenly, almost all the women develop the power to electrocute people at will. And then everything changes...

"It’s a novel of ideas – what would happen if women had the power to cause pain and destruction? Do we really believe that women are naturally peaceful and nurturing? How much of gender is in our expectations of violence? But it’s also a thriller; in pursuit of power each of the main characters will eventually come into conflict with the others, and they’re each a force to be reckoned with.”  

“At the novel’s heart is the question of power: who has it, how do you get it, what does it do to you when you’ve got it? And when you wield the power, how long will it be before the power wields you?"

Please join us in reading the first half of the book (up to the section “5 Years to Go” and a discussion on August 25th. As always, it is an inclusive, thematic book club - if you cannot read the election, you can still join in the conversation!
