The Giver Quartet by Lois Lowry

A four-part sequence of linked stories follows different protagonists—an appointed Receiver who uncovers his community’s hidden past and the pain tied to real feeling; a resourceful girl with a gift for stitching together truth in a village that discards the weak; a gentle messenger whose journeys test the boundaries between isolated settlements; and a mother and child torn apart by the consequences of social engineering—together examining memory, choice, sacrifice, the cost of enforced sameness, and the hope and danger inherent in reclaiming humanity.
