Then I noticed Sisters in a box of my mom's old books. Whatever the reason, I found myself struggling to find a book that I could stand longer than 50 pages (which is one of my biggest pet peeves having to put down a book because it's boring). Maybe the change in seasons just brings out a craving for a different kind of book than the ones I've been reading all winter. Naturally, I always find myself in a reading slump in the late spring/early summer. I first picked up Sisters over Christmas vacation in 2012, and I wasn't immediately intrigued by anything in the first 70 pages I read, so I decided to move on to something else, but I did want to revisit Sisters eventually. My mom's Danielle Steel books were no exception, so ever since then, I told myself I need to get around to reading one for real. I grew up with my mom reading them, and I always wanted to seem more grown up and mature by picking up "grown up" books and pretending that I could read and understand them. Confession: I've always wanted to read a Danielle Steel novel. Even if it is not published, I believe it is an important historical record of this aspect of British expatriate life between the two world wars. I would add that my mother has written a very interesting account of her childhood in Shanghai and has expressed an interest in finding a publisher. If you are interested in adding any of this material to your collection, please let me know. I also have a copy on CD of two further albums of photographs taken by my mother’s elder sister’s husband (who worked for BAT in Shanghai) which also contain scenes of the city during Japanese aggression. They include, amongst family photos, a good selection of scenes of Shanghai and Peitaiho, as well as pictures taken during Japanese air attacks, showing bomb damage and civilian casualties. My mother – who was born in Shanghai in 1925 and lived there until 1937 – has passed to me three photograph albums and a large number of loose photographs taken in China from about 1900 until the Japanese invasion of Shanghai.

Down the hall lives Thomas the Carver, a young boy who works on the intricate symbols carved on the Singer's staff, and a tiny girl who is being trained as the next Singer. There she is given the task of restoring the historical pictures sewn on the robe worn at the annual Ruin Song Gathering, a solemn day-long performance of the story of their world's past. Kira, newly orphaned and lame from birth, is taken from the turmoil of the village to live in the grand Council Edifice because of her skill at embroidery. And at the center of both stories there is a young person who is given the responsibility of preserving the memory of the culture-and who finds the vision to transform it. This society, like the one portrayed in The Giver, is controlled by merciless authorities with their own complex agendas and secrets. This eagerly awaited companion volume, by contrast, takes place in a village with only the most rudimentary technology, where anger, greed, envy, and casual cruelty make ordinary people's lives short and brutish. “ ReviewLois Lowry's magnificent novel of the distant future, The Giver, is set in a highly technical and emotionally repressed society.
