Welcome to the Highbrary. We are your Highbrarians. Today we cover “The Power” by Naomi Alderman. This science fiction novel explores what would happen if women across the world suddenly developed a superpower due to something literally in the water. There’s rape, there’s murder, there’s a bunch of people regarding a runaway foster child as a messiah. Join us as we try(and probably fail) to make jokes out of topics that make us REALLY uncomfortable. 

Love, Indy and Annie
