PositiveThe Christian Science MonitorThis story collection rocketed me back to my own young-reader encounter with L’Engle’s work ... Sometimes a well-observed moment seems too slight, but L’Engle’s refusal to tie things up with an easy resolution, and the possibility that she lived aspects of these stories, attests to her courage as a writer and a person ... Voiklis says editors asked L’Engle if A Wrinkle in Time was for children or for adults, to which she replied, \'It’s for people!\' Her stories of human failures, successes, yearnings, and troubles all have a strong moral compass, even if the characters don’t. Reading them showed me the depth and texture that eventually found its way into A Wrinkle in Time. And The Moment of Tenderness is graced with the tenderness with which the author’s granddaughter read her work.
