What's it about?
Divergent takes place a futuristic dystopian Chicago. The society as we know it has been disbanded and five factions remain in its stead: Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless, and Erudite. Tris Prior and all the our sixteen year-olds in Chicago must choose between them and set the course of the rest of their lives. Tris' choice comes with fearsome challenges and the realization that she is different from most of society. And everyone is threatened by that which they do not understand. Can Tris keep her secret and simply survive faction initiation?
