Honestly, even though I really don't know how to categorize it, I loved it — and the ending made me hope really, really hope! Filled with suspense and spiced with romance, the story will satisfy any reader who appreciates a well told story. We all know the rules. We think about them every day.
How could we not know them? We do it every year to commemorate the extraordinary trip we all took together four years ago: our escape from fear and sickness and hunger, our miraculous arrival in this land of milk and honey. So April 23 is kind of like our Thanksgiving, but without the turkey and pumpkin pie.
It is also, coincidentally, the day Shakespeare was born. And died. I put my feet flat on the floor as the projector hums to action at the back of the hall, cutting a beam through the dark air and slowly illuminating the first face on the wide screen that hangs behind the old altar.
This year there are seven of them. They just scroll through these faces again and again. But most of us have a sense of the story behind each face.

We are each assigned to a counselor. Mine is Mr. A girl near the back in a green dress stands to recite the second rule, about the sequence of time.
Heads politely turn. Like landing a part in the Christmas pageant. I was chosen once, three years ago. My mom dressed me in her gold ballet flats and her most expensive silk scarf. She mashed rouge into my cheeks. I got to read the sixth one, about never submitting to medical attention outside the community.
The black-and-white face of Mrs. Branch now takes its turn up on the screen. It looks like it was taken on the day she got her diagnosis.
I look away. Briefly I catch the eyes of my friend Katherine a few rows behind. No one will tell you, but I think I know. I think this because of something that happened to me when I was thirteen, not long before my turn at reciting the sixth rule.
