Most of the literature on Genesis and creation emphasizes what was created, and how. But in *And It Was Good*, Madeleine L’Engle cast long, loving, and perceptive glances not only at the created universe but at its creator as well. At every level she sees the connections between Made and Maker, and in the vast beauty, order, and complexity of our world, she observes many of the characteristics of God, the First Poet.
Just as Mm. L’Engle learns about God from his book, Genesis, we learn about this human author from hers. She too is a creator and poet, and her reflections on early chapters of the first book of the bible radiate the intuitive insights of her keen mind, a luminous view of her own world, and the warmth of her large heart.

I loved every minute of this book. The body horror, the love story and the reimagining of the Adam and Eve story were blended absolutely seamlessly and flawlessly in my opinion. The imagery was pretty frigging fantastic and I really liked the characters.
