The Giver
Author:
Lois Lowry
Review
Set in a colourless world where all emotions have been removed. There is no war, suffering or unhappiness. Jonas has been chosen to be the new Reciever of Memory where he is given the history and collective memories of the village.
As colours come into his life, along with pain, joy and fear he realises how wrong his society is. A “1984” for teens and an excellent read.
