âDear Readers: This is one wild book! . . . No holds barred.â âMargaret Atwood via Twitter
âMind-blowing. Equal parts brilliant and hilarious.â âHeather OâNeill, bestselling author of The Lonely Hearts Hotel and Lullabies for Little Criminals
From the critically acclaimed author of Bunny, a darkly funny novel about a theatre professor suffering chronic pain who, in the process of staging a troubled production of Shakespeareâs most maligned play, suddenly and miraculously recovers.
Miranda Fitchâs life is a waking nightmare. The accident that ended her burgeoning acting career left her with excruciating, chronic pain, a failed marriage, and a deepening dependence on painkillers. And now sheâs on the verge of losing her job as a college theatre director. Determined to put on Shakespeareâs Allâs Well That Ends Well, the play that promisedâand costâher everything, she faces a mutinous cast hell-bent on staging Macbeth instead. Miranda sees her chance at redemption slip through her fingers.
Thatâs when she meets three strange benefactors who have an eerie knowledge of Mirandaâs past and a tantalizing promise for her future: one where the show goes on, her rebellious students get whatâs coming to them, and the invisible, doubted pain thatâs kept her from the spotlight is made known.
With prose Margaret Atwood has described via Twitter as âno punches pulled, no hilarities dodged . . . genius,â Mona Awad has concocted her most potent, subversive novel yet. Allâs Well is the story of a woman at her breaking point and a formidable, piercingly funny indictment of our collective refusal to witness and believe female pain.
