`Dear Readers: This is one wild book! . . . No holds barred.` --Margaret Atwood via Twitter `Mind-blowing. Equal parts brilliant and hilarious.` --Heather O`Neill, 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 Shakespeare`s most maligned play, suddenly and miraculously recovers. Miranda Fitch`s 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 she`s on the verge of losing her job as a college theatre 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 hell-bent 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 via Twitter 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.
