A LIGHT SO LOVELY The Spiritual Legacy of Madeleine L'Engle, Author of a Wrinkle in Time

Simona Chitescu-Weik narrates this introspective tribute to the life and work of Madeleine L'Engle. She does so in a heartfelt, pensive voice that takes listeners through the writer's childhood and influences. Fans of the Wrinkle in Time trilogy and other work by the prolific author will find insights here, including an exploration of L'Engle's complex spirituality. Chitescu-Weik's delivery is predictable and slow paced--she may have some listeners wishing for more variety in pace and style. But she effectively portrays L'Engle's tenacity, which is shown through quotes from the author herself. Those who are interested in the history and reflections of a major early influence in YA fiction will find the narrator's attention to detail gratifying.
