About three chapters into this. I know I read this years ago, but for the life of me, I honestly don't remember any of this! You'd think I'd remember something about a cherubim :(. Anyhoo, it's interesting, if different.
Finished chapter ten and loved this quote: "The temptation for farandola or for man or for star is to stay an immature pleasure - seeker. When we seek our own pleasure as the ultimate good we place ourselves as the center of the universe. A fara or a man or a star has his place in the universe, but nothing created is the center."
I love the ongoing theme of our need for one another, although I confess some of the more theological ideas seem conflicting and confusing. Hard to determine what messages L'Engle is trying to convey in that line, if any. Any thoughts on this? Guess I need to do some research on the author :)

I've read this one YEARS ago, but to be honest, I don't remember a single plot point. I'm curious if my memory helps me out as I go along. Anyone else read this one before?
