I love Madeleine L'Engle. But this was probably the first book of hers that I've read that I couldn't really get into. It's a deep meditation on faith, and there weren't certainly meaningful parts that made me contemplate. But in general, it was plodding and didn't connect with me.
Wonderful...like having a breakfast nook or walk through the woods talk with Madeleine–the talk began about the liturgical year as delineated in the Book of Common Prayer, but has delightfully swerved back and fro to physics then troublesome Bible stories to family politics then the place in our society for the very young and the very old...
The coffee grows tepid, the dog bashes ahead in the brush. The talk continues and weaves and braids. There is always more coffee, and the dog knows the way, and is only following his nature. All is well.
