Gibson ISBN: 0544336267 The Giver: A Newbery Award Winner (Giver Quartet, 1) (Book 1 in the The Giver Series) by S.T. Passion and genuine love arise between “my lord’s” three consorts, and it’s Constanta’s concern for Magdalena and Alexi that finally allows her to break her husband’s thrall and see his strict rules and jealous rages for what they are.
