The Joys of Love
Madeleine L’Engle’s grandchildren Léna and Charlotte first read the manuscript for The Joys of Love back in 1978, but it was never published. Instead, it became the girls’ special book, a “delicious secret” between them and their grandma that the legions of L’Engle’s fans could not have. (“We could get a little jealous,” says Léna.)
Happily, they’ve decided to share the tale that profoundly shaped their lives with the rest of us. It’s about an aspiring actress named Elizabeth, but in many ways it’s Madeleine’s story, too. Says Léna, “I hope that readers will catch that same glimpse of my grandmother in Elizabeth that I did—vibrant, vulnerable, and yearning for love and all that life has to offer—and feel inspired.” (Ages 9-12)
