Libba Bray - Rettentő gyönyörűség

Gemma Doyle is different from the other girls, her manners are impeccable, she only speaks when spoken to, knows her place and falls back and thinks of England when asked. Sixteen-year-old Gemma is an independent individual. He is enrolled at the Spence Academy in London when a tragedy strikes his family in India. A loner, guilt-ridden and prone to visions of the future that come awkwardly true, Gemma receives a chilly reception at the Academy. But she is not completely alone: ​​she is followed by a mysterious young man who warns her not to open her soul to the visions. Because Gemma's ability to attract the supernatural is fulfilled here at Spence. It is here that she comes into contact with the school's most influential girl clique and discovers that her mother was connected to a mysterious group called the Order. And this is where his destiny awaits him...if he believes in it. The Great and Terrible Beauty is a truly creepy read about the wide palette of the world of rustling skirts, dancing shadows and things that come our way in the night. It shows us the brightly colored world of the Victorian era, where girls are raised to marry rich men, but where one girl finds a different path for herself.
