The Giver
In a world where sameness reigned supreme, where color had vanished from vision and every choice — from one’s job to one’s spouse — was dictated by strict committees, lived a boy named Jonas.

Emotions were subdued, language was precise, and memories of the past were locked away, forgotten.
