First Edition / First Printing. Hardcover. True first, preceding the American edition which was published a year later. In this feminist dystopian novel, women develop the power to emit electrical shocks from their fingers, transforming them into the dominant gender on the planet. Provocative and highly entertaining. An Amazon Prime series based on the novel premiered in 2023. PLEASE NOTE that all our First Editions are also First Printings, unless we specifically note otherwise. All our dust jackets are protected in clear mylar covers. Fine in fine unclipped dust jacket.

Synopsis

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2017 BAILEYS WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION

What if the power to hurt were in women's hands?

Suddenly - tomorrow or the day after - teenage girls find that with a flick of their fingers, they can inflict agonizing pain and even death. With this single twist, the four lives at the heart of Naomi Alderman's extraordinary, visceral novel are utterly transformed.
