The son lois lowry6/28/2023 Son is a far more adult, far more sombre book than The Giver, or perhaps I have just grown up. I’ve grown up with these books, and reaching the end of this series feels, in many ways, like ending a chapter in my own life. So you can imagine the chill I got when, reading Son at 29, I realized that I must again be fairly close to the age of Jonas in this story. One of the reasons The Giver resonated so much with me is that I read it when I was fairly close to the age of its protagonist Jonas. Lois Lowry’s The Giver changed my life when I was 14 (see story here), and reading Son feels like coming full circle. I can’t even begin to explain how much this book means to me.
