![]() ![]() ![]() Liggett also weaves together horror elements surrounding the idea of “community,” inside and outside Garner County. In the bones of The Grace Year lie themes of female repression, gender roles, relationships between girls and the women they become, and survival. As superstition and paranoia consumes the group, they are also threatened by poachers hiding in the outskirts of the camp who make their money by trading in body parts of Grace-Year-girls. ![]() But, much to her surprise, Teirney receives a veil before being escorted to the Grace Year camp, where at total of thirty-three sixteen-year-old girls are sent for an entire year, with no means to survive. Unlike the rest of the girls, Teirney does not want to get married and prefers the labor house over a veil. The main character, Tierney, carries all the traits her community forbids- She’s a skeptic. Without the promise of marriage, girls are sent off to the labor house for the rest of their lives, or much worse. Before girls embark on their Grace Year at the age of sixteen, they hope to receive a veil from one of the townsmen, a public promise of “survival” after the Grace year by means of marriage. Dreaming, among many other things, is forbidden for females.

The resulting war was a very close-run thing, though the Athenians ended up victorious. Theseus, who only ever had to see a woman to abduct her, was supposed to have kidnapped one of them and brought her back home as his bride the Amazons, outraged by this abduction, duly launched an attack on Athens. ![]() ![]() Prominent among these was a war fought between the Athenians and an army of ferocious female warriors from the Black Sea named Amazons. ‘My ambition’, he informed a Roman friend, ‘is to make sense of the fabulous and oblige it to submit to reason, so that it can then take on the form of history.’ Much in the life of his hero is accordingly dismissed as fantasy, but certain episodes are presumed to have had a basis in fact.

Kid, the hero, was a persona that I could imagine inhabiting while trying to adjust to my own life in the 70s. I read a lot of sci-fi and knew this was bound to become a classic.
