Don't know if relaxing yoga class was best place to mention book The Giver. Yoga teacher familiar with book and author. She said it is a dystopian novel. I had to look up dystopian, opposite of utopian?
Several famous dystopian books became popular culture, Hunger Games and Handmaid's Tale.
Since I work a hospital job where all is the same, the new life and love at end of story gives me hope for my retirement!
