A Light So Lovely: The Spiritual Legacy of Madeleine l'Engle, Author of a Wrinkle in Time by Sarah Arthur

4.0

I remember the first time I read A Wrinkle in Time. I remember rereading it and the joy I got all over again from that experience. I have been interested in Madeleine L’Engle since then. Unfortunately, this book did not quench that thirst. It was part biography of L’Engle, and part autobiography for the author. Although I still liked it enough to give it four stars (I like the way the chapters were set up with the and/or concept and some of my favorite people were quoted), I think I would have enjoyed it even more if the author wouldn’t have woven so much of her own life into the story just to compare it to L’Engle’s. Some of it was relevant, but a lot of it felt like “oh look how similar we are” without really revealing anything about L’Engle.
