NATIONAL BESTSELLER *FINALIST FOR A GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD FOR BEST
HORROR* *LONGLISTED FOR THE 2023 INTERNATIONAL DUBLIN AWARD* “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.
