(2) YA Fifteen-year-old Camilla's father is worldly, superficial, and cold; her mother turns elsewhere for love. Camilla, locked within herself, finds release in a relationship with her friend's brother. L'Engle's characters have the extraordinary individuality and reality that keep the story deeply absorbing. Published originally as an adult book (Camilla Dickinson), it has too much to say to be limited to any age.
