This is “A Brave New World” for kids. I also was reminded of Camazotz in “A Wrinkle in Time”. And also what we learn from the movie Inside Out on emotions coloring our memories. Joyous memories can be tinged with sadness.
This is a good book to think about truth verses comfort, messiness also part of beauty, conformity verses individuality and the joy but also loneliness that can come from being different. It’s about growing up and apart from your family, even an identical twin, and the pain of that emotional separation, and it’s about loss and burying memories versus grieving and celebrating them.
