by Madeleine L'Engle
The
most enjoyable book in the series since the initial "A Wrinkle in
Time". Madeleine explores questions of love and free will around the
story of Noah and the flood. While not giving clear answers she points
to the mystery of suffering and destruction being part of new birth
(citing childbirth and the formation of stars as examples). Besides
touching on this tricky subject she tells a gripping story filled with
interesting characters. A nod to Enoch near the end is the best 'Deus ex Machina" moment in a book that I've read in a long time.
