A rebellious debutante is the leading lady in the first book of a supernatural trilogy.  Gemma Doyle is a sixteen-year old girl who is thrown into the cut-throat world of a  London boarding school after her mother’s murder (or possibly suicide) drives her family out of their home in India. While searching for the hidden clues of her mother’s past, Gemma sets out on a journey that not only leads to the discovery of her family roots, but also to the heart of who she really is. Five years after originally reading this book it is still my favorite book of all time.  The second and concluding books in the trilogy, Rebel Angels and The Sweet Far Thing, are no let-down as well! I have yet to find a books that compare to the Gemma Doyle Trilogy!
