"A dazzling wild ride of a novel - daring, fresh, entertaining, and
magical. Mona Awad is a powerful and poetic storyteller, telling us
something new and profound here about the connection between
suffering and elation. When I was away from this book, I longed to
get back to it." - George Saunders, New York Times bestselling,
Booker Prize-winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo "Wild and
exhilarating and so fresh it takes your breath away, All's Well is
an utterly delicious novel of pain and vitality, Shakespeare and
the uncanny, and our own subtle moral failures when we brush up
against the pain of others. Mona Awad's talent is so vital that it
absolutely roars out of her. " - Lauren Groff, New York Times
bestselling author of Fates and Furies "Tragic, macabre, and
wicked. I laughed out loud the whole way through. One of the
funniest books I've read in years." - Heather O'Neill, author of
The Lonely Hearts Hotel "Really funny ... The satirical targets,
all brilliantly hit, include useless physios, entitled students,
internet advertising and - for all you romantics out there - love!"
Wendy Holden in the Daily Mail Miranda Fitch's life is a waking
nightmare. The accident that ended her burgeoning acting career
left her with excruciating, chronic back pain, a failed marriage,
and a deepening dependence on painkillers. And now she's on the
verge of losing her job as a college theater director. Determined
to put on Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well, the play that
promised, and cost, her everything, she faces a mutinous cast
hellbent on staging Macbeth instead. Miranda sees her chance at
redemption slip through her fingers. That's when she meets three
strange benefactors who have an eerie knowledge of Miranda's past
and a tantalizing promise for her future: one where the show goes
on, her rebellious students get what's coming to them, and the
invisible, doubted pain that's kept her from the spotlight is made
known. With prose Margaret Atwood has described as "no punches
pulled, no hilarities dodged...genius," Mona Awad has concocted her
most potent, subversive novel yet. All's 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.
