In their sixteenth year the girls are banished and released into the wild for one full year, their grace year. In that year they are supposed to "lose" their magic. The very magic that they have been taught seduces men and drives women crazy.
Tierney James is 16 and about to be forced into her grace year but she dreams literally and figuratively of a better world, a world in which there is no grace year and women aren't pitted against one another. The Grace year is shrouded in secrets and the women who return don't speak of it nor do they speak of the ones who don't return.
The Grace Year is well written and addicting. It is Lord of Flies meets The Handmaiden's Tale with a bit of The Hunger Games tossed in for good measure. It's an excellent addition to the dystopian genre and you will be left wanting to know more.
