A great and terrible beauty by Libba Bray
This book for young adults is one of my daughters which I reread.Gothic fantasy set in the Victorian era it blends fantasy and suspense within a repressive school setting.The flaws within the characters of the girls and their individual problems are mirrored in the imperfect nature of the magical realms with dark undercurrents running through both. Reviewers have pointed out historical inaccuracies but Libba Bray is a great story teller.
