Roxy, the powerful; Margo, the politician; Tunde, the journalist; and Allie, Mother Eve are the key characters who witness, and are part of a new era exploding all over the world. Young girls develop a power that sends men rioting because they can’t accept they are now the weaker sex.

This is a book I couldn’t put down and even though the letters at the beginning and end of the book, are not part of the characters’ stories, do read them; especially the ones at the end. I love how Alderman turns the tables on our programed thinking. A must read.
