Gathering Blue

[christina]

Gathering Blue is the title of the companion novel to The Giver. I just read it and would like to know if anyone else has. Gathering Blue seems to be the exact antithesis to The Giver in many ways.

To name a few:

the main character is female
the society is in disarray instead of perfect order
the ending
etc.

Anyone interested in reading it and discussing it?

I've never heard of it. Is it by the same author? Was it worth it?

[christina]

Same author. Related book, hence the "companion novel" title. Worth it.

[daveloveless]

Very interesting. I'm definitely going to have to go check that out. Thanks for the tip.

[christina]

You're welcome. There is also a third book which connects characters from the other two. It is called The Messenger.

[daveloveless]

Have you read that? Is it worth it?

If you own Gathering Blue, might I borrow it off you some time?

[christina]

I don't own either.

We checked ours out of the county library. Sorry about that, Dave.
