• One of my favorite stories growing up was A Wrinkle in Time. I loved that book.

A Wrinkle in Time moved me deeply.

Once you've read Anna Karenina, Bleak House, The Sound and the Fury, To Kill a Mockingbird and A Wrinkle in Time, you understand that there is really no reason to ever write another novel. Except that each writer brings to the table, if she will let herself, something that no one else in the history of time has ever had.
