this is my favorite of the Time Quartet, by far, and re-reading it was a joy. L'Engle's cleverness and intricately interwoven plot gives me chills every time.

For some reason, I had not read this book, until now. I have read the first two books in the series multiple times. A Wrinkle in Time is an all time favorite. I loved being back in L'Engle's world.

Meg is married to Calvin, and she is expecting their first child. She has returned home for Thanksgiving and the family is together again. Mr. Murry has received a call from the White House. The President believes a South American country will declare war, with a strong possibility of it being nuclear. Thoroughly this entry in the Time Quintet.

This is my favorite of the series. It’s the most complicated with the most characters.

I love the idea of mixing physics, the Bible, sci fi, and fantasy but I find L'Engle's books thin and sometimes frustrating in what she skips over, leaves out, or makes a bit too pretty (baby unicorns in glittering starlight, etc.). Still, she makes me cry at the end of every one, bringing us back to love, humility, and grace. Dang it all.

⭐️2.5⭐️ Seems a bit out of place, I missed Calvin being in this story. However, Madeline L’Engle’s imagination & story telling are INCREDIBLE. Always love hearing Jennifer Ehle’s voice!
