![]() ![]() Its narration is lean and economical, and the characters’ speech is laser sharp. The book challenged young readers with this imaginative inversion, and it attunes them to the power of spare prose. The Giver’s other-world, by contrast, is stripped of things we take for granted: there are bicycles, but no need for bike locks (there is no crime) and you have no clue whether your bike is blue or red (everyone is color-blind). ![]() Many books invoke childhood fantasies to heighten the everyday into a magical other-world-people walk, but they also know how to fly there are rivers, but some flow with chocolate. This is troublesome for someone like me, who believes that The Giver stands as a nearly perfect and singular work. ![]() ![]() If Lowry’s previous books from the quartet allowed The Giver to continue as a hermetic reality, this newest book penetrates the first novel’s narrative, almost as revisionist history. (Those books were not so much sequels as additional stories from the dystopian future.) Not only does Son return to the same place-that ultimate disciplinary society-but it returns to the same events. As the only book in the series to return to the community where we met Jonas, The Giver’s protagonist, this new novel is different from the second and third installments in the series, Gathering Blue (2000) and Messenger (2004). Last month, Lowry published the fourth-and final-book in The Giver quartet, called Son. THE YEAR 2013 will mark the twentieth anniversary of Lois Lowry’s beloved dystopian novel, The Giver. ![]() ![]() ![]() But I know she’s better off without me, and I promised myself I’d behave.

We’re just as good together as we were back then-better, even-and I’m willing to give the only man I’ve ever loved another chance. ![]() It doesn’t take long for our trip down memory lane to go from sweet to sizzling. He’s got those eyes that make me weak, those hands that drive me wild, and a body I can’t resist-especially once I see the tattoos. After all, it’s been twelve years, and I’m stronger and smarter than I was back then. So when he shows up out of the blue asking me to have dinner with him “for old time’s sake,” I say I will. But I’m not a lovesick teenager anymore, and I’d never let that cocky troublemaker break my heart again. ![]() He was my first crush, my first kiss, my first everything. ![]() ![]() Haynes, Patrolling the Border: Theft and Violence on the Creek-Georgia Frontier, 1770–1796(Athens: University of Georgia Press, 2018) Jeremy Maxwell, Brotherhood in Combat: How African Americans Found Equality in Korea and Vietnam(Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2018) Swope, On the Trail of the Yellow Tiger: War, Trauma, and Social Dislocation in SouthwestĬhina during the Ming-Qing Transition (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2018) Greene, The Invention and Reinvention of Big Bill Broonzy (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2018)Īndrew Wiest, Charlie Company's Journey Home: The Forgotten Impact on the Wives of Vietnam Veterans (Oxford (UK): Osprey Publishing, 2018) Kenneth Swope, The Ming World (New York, Routledge, 2019) Military and Civil Rights since World War II (Westport, Conn: Praeger, 2019) ![]() ![]() Heather Marie Stur, Saigon at War: South Vietnam and the Global Sixties (New York, Cambridge University Press, 2020) ![]() ![]() ![]() You can always contact us for any return question at and issues Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted.

The historical novel is once again in vogue, and Gore Vidal stands as its undisputed American master. The Golden Age is the concluding volume in Gore Vidal's celebrated and bestselling Narratives of Empire series-a unique pageant of the national experience from the United States' entry into World War Two to the end of the Korean War. ![]() ![]() ![]() Penny’s series has always been about the complexities and sustaining glories of family, and here she takes that theme even further, revealing fissures in the Gamache clan, but also showing the resilience and love at its root. ![]() Might Horowitz, Gamache wonders, knowing that his friend has devoted his life to exposing corporate wrongdoers, have been playing a long game aimed at revealing shocking malfeasance at GHS Electronics, the company where Jean-Guy Beauvoir, Annie’s husband and Armand’s former lieutenant at the Sûreté de Québec, now works?
