As soon as this book arrived I dropped everything to read it and was utterly swept away. The book is brimming with atmosphere and filled with Schwab’s trademark lyrical writing. This book has such an intriguing premise and Schwab executes this story perfectly.
Olivia soon discovers another realm bordering on Gallant’s estate and must do everything she can to save her family and herself. When Olivia gets there she learns this is anything but a normal household. When a mysterious letter arrives from Olivia’s Uncle, she is sent to Gallant – the Prior family estate. Her mother disappeared and she has spent her days being taunted by the other girls at the school. This gorgeous, atmospheric tale follows the story of Olivia Prior – a young girl living at Merilance School for Girls. Victoria Schwab is one of my favourite authors and Gallant was my most anticipated release of 2022. Olivia is permitted to remain, but must follow two rules: don’t go out after dusk, and always stay on the right side of a wall that runs along the estate’s western edge.īeyond it is another realm, ancient and magical, which calls to Olivia through her blood… Review
The estate is empty, save for the servants. But when she arrives, she discovers that the letter she received was several years old. Now, nearing the end of her time there, Olivia receives a letter from an uncle she’s never met, her father’s older brother, summoning her to his estate, a place called Gallant. She grew up at Merilance School for Girls. Her mother vanished all at once, and her father by degrees, and her voice was a thing she never had to start with. Sixteen-year-old Olivia Prior is missing three things: a mother, a father, and a voice. Source: The publisher kindly sent me a copy of this book to review
