A House Like a Lotus

Book Review - A House Like a Lotus by Madeleine L'Engle - I love L'Engle but this book reads more like an after school special from the 1980s than one of L'Engle's better books. On the whole it is a meditation on forgiveness but some of the things that the main character is concerned about don't seem that big of a deal and there are others that are big deals but completely ignored. There are moments where L'Engle's brilliance shines, but the book as a whole disappoints.

My full review is on my blog where I give more details and some spoilers at http://bookwi.se/house-like-lotus-madeleine-lengle/
