Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Stella

A Great and Terrible beauty is the story of a sassy young woman in a society where women are expected to be meek and subservient, who is forced to come to terms with the real reason for her mother's death, and face the disasters that she alone can fix.

Like most good books, this story has an underlying love story that does not overshadow the drama and action of the story line. A bit hard to get into, but picks up and turns into a great read!
