Book ID/图书代码： 11701215B81542
English Summary/英文概要： “Everyone in town was in love with a Grace….Every minute I spent in their company was loaded with my concentration, my constant study in how to make them like me…”
The Graces are three impossibly glamorous siblings who dominate the local school. Beautiful and aloof, some believe them to be witches, but all, one way or another, are under their spell. Outsider, River, wants to be part of them. She also desperately wants to be a witch. When she is befriended by the Grace’s youngest sister, River cannot believe her luck as she becomes drawn into their utterly cool inner circle.
But all is not as it seems in this mysterious family, and when one of them is found washed up dead on a beach a dark power struggle commences, from which not all can triumph – and there may be more to River than meets the eye…
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “镇上的每个人都爱着一个格蕾丝……和她们相处的每分每秒，我都在全神贯注地研究如何让她们喜欢我……”
格蕾丝一家三个异常迷人的姐妹是当地学校的焦点。她们美丽而冷漠，有些人相信她们是女巫，但所有人都被她们所诱惑。局外人River非常想成为她们的一份子，她也渴望成为一个女巫。当她和格蕾丝最小的妹妹成为朋友后，她几乎不敢相信自己的运气，随后慢慢融入了她们的内部交际圈。
但这个神秘的家庭并非那么单纯。当其中一人被发现死在沙滩上后，一股异常强大的黑暗力量随之袭来——事实比River所见到的更加神秘莫测……（LYR）

我一下子就被这部作品深深吸引。 Laure Eve将魔法和神秘完美结合，创作出这部令人欲罢不能的小说。不在阅读本书的时候，我都幻想着自己能够过上格蕾丝的生活。——Danielle Vega，作家
I was immediately enchanted by THE GRACES. Laure Eve’s novel weaves together an intoxicating blend of magic and mystery that had me daydreaming about life as a Grace even when I wasn’t reading the book. (Danielle Vega, author of The Merciless and Survive the Night)
“I was immediately enchanted by THE GRACES. Laure Eve’s novel weaves together an intoxicating blend of magic and mystery that had me daydreaming about life as a Grace even when I wasn’t reading the book.” (Danielle Vega, author of The Merciless and Survive the Night)
“Mysterious, beautiful and unnerving, The Graces, like its titular family, will keep you enthralled from beginning to end.” (Samantha Shannon NYT bestselling author of The Bone Season)
“Already lots of buzz building around this one, and deservedly so. New girl River is obsessed by the Graces, a trio of glamorous siblings who may or may not be witches. Fabulously dark and addictive.” (Bookseller)
“The ending will make readers want to read the entire novel again, immediately, to admire the clues they missed before. Though the facts may be slippery, the prose never is; it’s precise, vivid, and immediate. Powerful.” – Kirkus, starred review
THE GRACES was on the distinguished shortlist for the UK YA Book Prize – with THE CURSES, book 2, to follow in the autumn. https://yabookprize.tumblr.com/post/157917810987/heres-this-years-ya-10
The New York Times says: ‘The Graces demands to be read twice: The first time for the suspense; the second for the subtleties you missed initially. Eve’s rich story is about the kind of magic that comes from spells and the kind that comes from those moments when the present feels right and the future full of possibility’
