They are not alone in their quest. Charles Wallace's sister, Meg--grown and expecting her first child, but still able to enter her brother's thoughts and emotions by "kything"--goes with him in spirit. But in overcoming the challenges, Charles Wallace must face the ultimate test of his faith and will, as he is sent within four people from another time, there to search for a way to avert the tragedy threatening them all. More of a struggle than the previous two titles of the Quintet. The disjointed story-line jumps through history so much that my decision to enjoy the familiar characters could not hold. This piece of the drama feels overwrought as L'Engle moves the now-older Meg and Charles Wallace through the work of heading off a possible nuclear threat. With recent sparing over nuclear power on the real political front, I hoped for more wisdom and real insight; my fault as a reader who looks to fiction as a powerful way to tell the truth and imagine real possibilities. I completed the tale, but just barely. Pertany a aquestes sèriesThe Time Quintet (4)
The youngest of the Murry children must travel through time and space in a battle against an evil dictator who would destroy the entire universe. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
