Lois Lowry:
As an author whose work has become so integrated into wider American culture, I have wondered: what are your thoughts on how your fans have interpreted The Giver? Is there anything that you wish they had taken from the story that they seem to have missed? Is there anything that surprises or annoys you?
Lois Lowry
It doesn't annoy me, really, but it troubles me when people see it as a "Christian" book because I like to think it would have meaning for people of many different faiths

Lois Lowry:
Hi Miss Lowry let me just say your The Giver changed my life forever. So here's my question for you; was Rosemary really the Giver's daughter or a father feeling since I know their Community they have birth mother and they place the children in the family? It's been bugging me for years. Please and thank you.
