The Moment of Tenderness
The Moment of Tenderness | Madeleine L 'Engle
6 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 6 to read
From the beloved author of A Wrinkle in Time comes a deeply personal, genre-bending short story collection that transcends generational divides and reminds readers that hope, above all, can transform suffering into the promise of joy. This powerful collection of short stories traces an emotional arc inspired by Madeleine L'Engle's early life and career, from her lonely childhood in New York to her life as a mother in small-town Connecticut. In a selection of eighteen stories discovered by one of L'Engle's granddaughters, we see how L'Engle's personal experiences and abiding faith informed the creation of her many cherished works. Some of these stories have never been published; others were refashioned into scenes for her novels and memoirs. Almost all were written in the 1940s and '50s, from Madeleine's college years until just before the publication of A Wrinkle in Time. From realism to science-fiction to fantasy, there is something for everyone in this magical collection.

Short stories by L‘Engle published after her death. They don‘t all sound like her voice to me, but they were all very good.

Love this author because of such wonderful childhood memories of reading her books. This is a collection of short stories L‘Engle wrote in the 40s and 50s, curated by one of her granddaughters.

A story collection by Madeleine L'Engle, of the famed A Wrinkle in Time. Her granddaughter found these stories in boxes, most written during the 1950s. While they are decades old, most touched on topics that still have a relevance today. This collection includes writings for children & others written more for adults. Nothing monumental occurs in most of the writings & many end unresolved, but they are an insight into the lives of the characters.
