I remember the Giver. Was pretty interesting, but I never understood the very end. Did the Author intend for that to happen, as a sort of Cliffhanger?
I don't
fully remember the book, but if you mean when the protagonist and the child reach the village, then I'd assume what Nonnel said, that it was just open for interpretation what happens from there.
While we're on the topic of The Giver, I'd just like to take a short moment to say I was
slightly disappointed in the movie adaptation.
