Madeleine L'Engle's Wrinkle in Time series captured my attention as a young reader. I'm not sure I fully grasped the whole story, but it definitely suited my eager young mind's idea of what a good story was. I remember wanting to read more and more of the story, to find out what would happen, to be sure, but also wanting to understand. It's all very vague now, unfortunately, but the story definitely influenced me. If, as the New York Times piece linked to below asserts, the story is really about internal struggles of right and wrong, then I can see how it would lead me to love literature that embodies those kinds of struggles later in life.
Madeleine L'Engle died Thursday. Her works live on.
