Kim Liggett Girls El Año De Gracia / The Grace Year By (Paperback)
Product Description
Entre El cuento de la criada y El señor de las moscas, esta narración distópica explora hábilmente la psique de las adolescentes obligadas a vivir en una teocracia represiva. En el condado de Garner, donde está prohibido hablar del ""año de gracia"", las niñas crecen convencidas de que al alcanzar la adolescencia su piel exhala una potente esencia de juventud que, gracias a sus poderes afrodisíacos, es capaz de seducir a los hombres y matar de celos a las mujeres. A fin de purificar esa magia sin dañar a nadie y poder regresar a casa listas para el matrimonio, las adolescentes son expulsadas del lugar y confinadas en plena naturaleza durante un año. Sin embargo, no todas vuelven... Aunque en el condado de Garner están prohibidos los sueños y cualquier cosa que pueda ofrecer privacidad y esperanza a las chicas, Tierney James, una joven de dieciséis años que está a punto de tener que cumplir su año de gracia y anhela una sociedad libre de disputas entre amigos y entre mujeres, descubrirá que el mayor peligro que deben enfrentar las adolescentes en su situación no radica en la naturaleza salvaje ni en los elementos, ni siquiera en los cazadores furtivos que se dedican a secuestrarlas para hacer una pequeña fortuna en el mercado negro, sino en la rivalidad y el enfrentamiento entre ellas. Con prosa afilada y descarnado realismo, El año de gracia examina las complejas, y a menudo tortuosas, relaciones entre jóvenes y las difíciles decisiones que deben tomar para convertirse en mujeres. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The instant New York Times bestseller, a speculative YA thriller in the vein of The Hunger Games and The Power , now in trade paperback. No one speaks of the grace year. It's forbidden. In Garner County, girls are banished for their sixteenth year to release their magic into the wild so they can return purified and ready for marriage. But not all of them will make it home alive. Tierney James dreams of a better lifebut as her own grace year draws near, she quickly realizes that there's more to fear about the grace year than the brutal elements and the poachers in the woods. Their greatest threat may very well be each other. With sharp prose and gritty realism, Kim Liggett's The Grace Year examines the complex and sometimes twisted relationships between girls, the women they eventually become, and the difficult decisions they make in-between.
