THE GRACE YEAR - KIM LIGGETT KARTONIERT (TB)

'. . . seethes with love and brutality  violence and hope . . . a remarkable and timely story
of the bonds between women' Sabaa Tahir    'An incredibly important and empowering read'
Natasha Ngan   _____________________________________________   THE RESISTANCE STARTS HERE.   No
one speaks of the grace year.   It's forbidden.   We're told we have the power to lure grown
men from their beds  make boys lose their minds  and drive the wives mad with jealousy. That's
why we're banished for our sixteenth year  to release our magic into the wild before we're
allowed to return to civilisation.   But I don't feel powerful.   I don't feel magical.  
Tierney James lives in an isolated village where girls are banished at sixteen to the northern
forest to brave the wilderness - and each other - for a year. They must rid themselves of their
dangerous magic before returning purified and ready to marry - if they're lucky.  It is
forbidden to speak of the grace year  but even so every girl knows that the coming year will
change them - if they survive it...   A critically acclaimed page-turning feminist dystopia
about a young woman trapped in an oppressive society  fighting to take control of her own life.
