Five things about The Moon by Night by Madeleine L’engle 📚📚📚📚📚
1. The second book in the Austen family series finds the family camping across the United States the summer before they move to New York.
2. On the way Vicky catches the attention of two admirers-Zachery the spoiled, agonized, pessimistic, atheist with a heart condition and Andy the stable, capable, kind, spiritually curious, red headed Andy.
3. This has always been my favorite in the series. Not only is it a fun coming of age romance but it’s a love letter to nature and national parks.
4. Full of conversations about humans and nature, the nature of evil, how a good God could allow so much pain, impending nuclear war, fear no getting, free will and predestination, what poverty can do to people, what wealth can do to people, the precarious position of being a person being alive in a vast unknowable universe…and more.
5. This is L’Engle at her best. It takes place in the 50s but it’s just as pertinent today. It’s outside time.
