Thank you, Mado

Madeleine L'Engle
1918-2007


While I'm very sad that there will be no more stories about the Austins, Murrys or O'Keefes, I am happy she has rejoined her Hugh.

I didn't fall in love with her work till I was in my 20s. I love her adult books and her books "for kids" and her book about her marriage, Two-Part Invention.

I will always want to have copies of her books wherever I live, and I hope that Teo will enjoy them as much as Benjie and I do.
