About this title

Review:

“L’Engle’s genteel exploration of the interior landscape of a sensitive young woman has style.” —Publishers Weekly
 
“L’Engle has created an immensely appealing character, and in the course of her quietly well-told story she has given us a true picture of the life lived by serious artists.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer
