In The Power, the world is a recognizable place: There's a rich Nigerian boy who lounges around the family pool; a foster kid whose religious parents hide their true nature; an ambitious American politician; a tough London girl from a tricky family. But then a vital new force takes root and flourishes, causing their lives to converge with devastating effect. Teenage girls now have immense physical power: They can cause agonizing pain and even death. And, with this small twist of nature, the world drastically resets.

Margaret Atwood meets the X-(Wo)Men
Revisado: 08-06-18
The Power is a stunning story of what could happen if the male-female power dynamic abruptly switched. It definitely challenges every notion of masculinity and femininity and emphasizes that absolute power corrupts absolutely. If you like the X-Men and The Handmaid's Tale, you'll likely like this book.

In 1851, Father Jean Marie Latour comes to serve as the Apostolic Vicar to New Mexico. What he finds is a vast territory of red hills and tortuous arroyos, American by law but Mexican and Indian in custom and belief. In the almost forty years that follow, Latour spreads his faith in the only way he knows—gently, all the while contending with an unforgiving landscape, derelict and sometimes openly rebellious priests, and his own loneliness. Out of these events, Cather gives us an indelible vision of life unfolding in a place where time itself seems suspended.

Death Comes for the Archbishop is wonderful, an amazing classic everyone should read!
It's equal parts engaging drama, interesting historical fiction, and inspirational stories of people of faith. I highly recommend it! And if you are not familiar with Willa Cather (I was not until my book club did this book a couple months ago), then check her out!!
