Kara and Virginia join the other Book Interrupted ladies for the banned book “The Giver” by Lois Lowry.

The Book Interrupted members give their first impressions of the book and continue in the group discussion. The women discuss utopia vs dystopia, family sharing time, sameness, the excuse of safety, free childhoods and ‘observers’ choosing vocations.
