5.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliant!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 February 2021Verified Purchase
Oh how i love the writing style of Madeleine L'Engle! This might be a short story but it packs so much into it! It flows nicely through it transporting you down the story line , the characters are well developed and it makes you feel like you know them. It had a twist in it that I was certainly was not expecting, you know it is a good short story when you wish it was a full length story because you love it that much! A solid 5 star read for me!

did remind me of Shirley Jackson.

Creepy little story that does indeed remind me of Shirley Jackson. It is to short in my opinion but deliciously dark and in the short time it takes to read it, it packs a punch and really is eerie. Recommended for fans of short stories.

Twisted and to the point
Reviewed in the United States on 26 July 2020Verified Purchase
Short but oh so richly developed. It is amazing how effective suspension of disbelief can be in so few pages! I love how twisted it was; I will definitely be finding the rest of these L'Engle stories!!

It doesn't get any better
Reviewed in the United States on 28 April 2020Verified Purchase
I've been reading Madeleine L'Engle books since I was seven years old and this is the first new story I've seen in a long long time. I'm so glad her granddaughter has taken the time to go through her archives and find the work that was never published. This is a slightly disturbing but wonderful story that is so Madeleine L'Engle.
