This is the second book in The Giver quartet -- although you would never know it from reading it. There is one small mention of a character from The Giver that is merely described by his eye color.
I listened to this book on audio. It is the story of Kira, a young girl who is saved because of her skills weaving. She is charged with repairing the Singer's robe that conveys the history of her world in pictures.
I enjoyed the audio version of the story. It was a good story on its own - without trying to tie it to The Giver series.
