A dazzling wild ride of a novel daring, fresh, entertaining, and magical.Mona Awad isapowerfuland poeticstoryteller, telling us something new and profoundhereaboutthe connection betweensufferingandelation. When I was away from this book, I longed to get back to it.George Saunders,New York Timesbestselling, Booker Prize-winning author ofLincoln in the Bardo Wildand exhilarating and so fresh it takes yourbreath away,Alls Wellis an utterly delicious novel of pain and vitality, Shakespeare and the uncanny, and our own subtle moral failures when we brush up againstthe pain of others. Mona Awads talent is so vital that it absolutely roars out of her. Lauren Groff,New York Timesbestselling author ofFates 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 ONeill, author ofThe 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 theDaily MailLonglisted for the 2023 Dublin Literary Award 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'sAll's Well That Ends Well, the play that promised, and cost, her everything, she faces a mutinous cast hellbent on stagingMacbethinstead. 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 Wellis 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.
