Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Grace Year, by Kim Liggett, is a 2019 YA novel.Garner County has a very odd tradition that they are not allowed to talk about.Once a year, sixteen-year-old girls are banished into the wild. It is believed that being right on the edge of womanhood, they have a special magic that can seduce grown men and drive women jealous. By spending a year, they can purge this evil magic and come back purified and either ready for marriage (if they have been "veiled", that is, given a veil by the man who will claim them for marriage upon return) or for assignment to backbreaking labor at the mill, people's houses, or the fields (protagonist Tierney James's preference).Not that they all come back, of course.There are poachers ready to hunt down grace year girls so they can sell their "magical" body parts on the black market. There's the elements, wild animals, and as Tierney learns, the biggest danger: each other.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |
