ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Why Whales Sing" by Lauren Oliver depicts a dystopian future where love is considered a disease, and society is controlled by the A.S.D., an organization enforcing a "cure" and strict social divisions. The story follows Lena, a young woman who questions this reality after experiencing love and escaping to the non-regulated Tierra Salvaje. There, she encounters a different way of life and grapples with the harsh realities of freedom. Her journey becomes intertwined with Julián, a figure from the A.S.D., as they navigate a world filled with secrets, manipulation, and the struggle for individual autonomy against a powerful controlling force. The narrative explores themes of freedom versus control, the suppression of emotions, and the search for personal truth.
