 Madeleine L'Engle: An Epic in Time - June 2000 Issue of St. Anthony Messenger Magazine Online
L’Engle, 81, is surrounded by what she loves best—abundant walls of wooden shelves decked with well-worn and new books, interposed with photos of her loved ones, cards and some religious symbols.
L’Engle also regularly weaves together various genres into one work, crossing traditional barriers to create stories where theology, fantasy and science are casually employed to reflect themes such as scientific irresponsibility, the dangers of unthinking conformity and the saving power of love.
L’Engle’s fiction can also be poetic in its narrative, as in The Love Letters (1966): “At night the gardens were alive with sound and shadow....The fountain caught the distant silver of the moon and the silver was sound as it splashed into the marble bowl....From the convent the heavy creaking of a door.

 The Days & Nights of the Lipstick Librarian!: A Wrinkle in Madeleine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
The author writes that significant aspects of Madeleine L'Engle's life and relationships, especially as portrayed in her autobiographical Crosswicks series, are heavily fictionalized, in part because she's emotionally incapable of dealing with unpleasant truths.
The author provides especially jarring contradictions to Madeleine's versions of her famously successful marriage to Hugh Franklin (Two-Park Invention), her happy relationship with her children, and the reasons why she didn't live with her parents for long periods as a child.
The Crosswicks series was written nearly 30 years ago, when Madeleine was in her fifties and certainly not subject to memory problems.
