Two-part invention Book

This is the last of L'Engle's Crosswick Journals and it is both a fascinating and very sad look at her marriage (and his death) to Hugh Franklin. As I said with her book The Summer of the Great Grandmother, timing is everything. This book also helped me think of my own father's illness in light of his 58 year marriage to my mother. It is good to have books like this to walk us through these universal experiences, especially in a world where we have often disconnected ourselves from the past and the wisdom that comes with it.
