Book Review: The Summer of the Great-Grandmother by Madeleine L’Engle

The Summer of the Great-Grandmother (Crosswicks Journal, #2)The Summer of the Great-Grandmother by Madeleine L’Engle

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Own.

Much to consider.  What is the essence of a person, the ousia?  A wonderful follow-up to A Circle of Quiet.  L’Engle wrestles with life, death, identity, and the soul. 

I particularly loved the section of her mother’s ancestry and the stories of the people in her family tree.  I loved their informal education.
