Enjoy your rest, Madeleine L'Engle
Just saw on the news, Madeleine L'Engle, author of many wonderful Christian-based fantasies, and best known for 'A Wrinkle In Time', has passed away at age 88.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May He cause His face to shine upon you.
May He lift up His countenance and grant you peace.

THAT CAN'T HAPPEN!!! *cries*
thats so sad... she was so wacky yet had such an enjoyable writing style and was willing to break down the barriers when writing (having a female protagonist)
I am sad!

I'm sorry to hear that. I haven't read her books, but I have heard of 'A Wrinkle in Time.' What a dear lady - the world will miss her.---

Am I the only one that didn't like A Wrinkle in Time? Maybe I should reread it.
Anyway, she will be missed. D:

The item in the Spokesman Review yesterday that talked about her death mentioned the part of her being a Christian.

Only just after I got re-interested in some of her works.... that's really a shame... wow. I'm a lot sadder then expected I would be...

Not at all.
However, the loss of such a notable author is still sad.

I'm not looking forward to breaking the news to the wolf on this one. This was one of her favorite authors.

One of mine too. A Wrinkle in Time is one of the most fantastic books ever written.

She wrote a whole series of books based upon the protagonists of "A Wrinkle in Time", the last of which was "Many Waters", the book you are describing. There is (to my knowledge) two books between them, plus a book in which the protagonists are Meg's parents.
Calvin O'keefe (Meg's boyfriend and eventually husband) and Poly, their daughter, also show up in other books. Actually, you can work connections between most of her books with Calvin and Canon Tallis (not in A Wrinkle in Time) as the bridging characters.

I've enjoyed her books for the most part, the ones that I read anyway.
Although, I never really did figure out what her theology was.

As I understand it, she was a moderate Protestant.
One must always remember that an author of fiction is by definition writing things she does not necessarily believe to be true, but her books tend to suggest she believed that Science and Religion revealed different facets of the same Truth. An example of this would be the presence of both mammoths and nephilim in the above-mentioned book "Many Waters".
