Introduction

Imagine living in a society of sameness where you find no colour, no family connections, and no memory—a society where life is governed by rigid rules that resist change and resent questioning. Welcome to the world of The Giver, a powerful and controversial book about a utopian community and young boy’s dawning realisations about oppression, choices and human connections.
