This book considers a possibility which humankind might face in the future,although it does so in a much different way than The Giver.Where The Giver takes place in a human future where scientists have created a society that seems utopian on the surface yet closely resembles a modern communist nation,Gathering Blue clearly takes place in a dystopian society.People live in primitive,animalistic ways and must revert to aggressive behavior to survive.Children (referred to as "tykes") are beaten and penned up like animals so that they do not interfere with the work of the adults.Those who are different (such as the physically deformed) are often killed.It is hinted at throughout the book that the communities are post-apocalyptic; at one point when Kira is looking at an embroidered robe,she notes cities all over being utterly destroyed,and rebuilt bigger and better,then destroyed again,and so on.
However,it appears that an outlet exists whereby the community might be re-created into a more fulfilling way of life.Some of the characters (Kira,Thomas,and Jo) are born with a mystical skill; a nearly magical unity with a certain craft or capacity.In Kira,thread and color seem to take on life of their own,creating wonderful and sometimes prophetic images.Thomas can do the same with woodcarving,and Jo with music.Thomas is a boy who is about Kira's age.They live close to each other in the rooms provided for them,and they often share their meals and days together.Their task is to preserve the historical record kept in the embroidery of a robe,the carvings of a staff,and the voice of a bard who bears these things.
Kira is often kept company by a mischievous boy called Matt (in the society,as a person ages,his or her name gains a syllable at certain intervals,including puberty,adulthood and the overall experience of becoming a man; when Matt felt that he was old enough,he added the second syllable himself),who looks to Kira much as he would look to a generous,indulgent,but uncorrupted older sister.It is Matt who unwittingly reveals the flaws in society to Kira,who conveys them to Thomas.Ultimately the artists realize that they were purposely made orphans by the Council of Guardians,the group which rules their community.Kira's mother,Katrina,dies of a mysterious illness that is not spread to any other person in the community,and her father,Christopher,is said to have been taken by ambiguously described 'beasts'.The said Council makes every deceptive effort to keep the artists under its control,usually by instilling fear.
Another means of control,not only of the artists but of the populace,is that of giving the people,through the historical record,cause to believe that their lives will never be more peaceful or harmonious than they are at present.The artists are directed to create certain patterns determined by the Guardians,rather than permitted to share their visions of the future.
