Not Just for Young Adults - Part 1

Welcome to the first in an on-going series of entries from the Young Adult Librarian focussing on young adult books that adults might also enjoy.

The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray is the final book in the Gemma Doyle Trilogy, but you will want to start with the first book A Great and Terrible Beauty . Gemma, a school girl in Victorian England, can travel between this world and another called the Realms. She has a great deal of magic within her, and she does not know whom she should trust as several groups also want her powers. This popular series will appeal to adults who like fantasy with complex female characters.
