The Grace Year

I was gripped the entire time. A complete roller-coaster going from feeling anger to fear to bliss to heart-wrenching sadness and finally to hopeful determination. The last 10 pages or so gave me goosebumps. The themes of young women discovering their “magic” in societies where they are suppressed and controlled, gave me flashbacks to reading A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. (Without the annoying tree business...) I love this book.
