His eyes were open, and there was somehow light behind them, the way sometimes the light on the ocean seems to come from beneath the water, rather than just being reflected from above. He was standing in a relaxed manner, but a little muscle in his cheek was twitching just slightly, so he wasn’t as easy as he seemed.

A Ring of Endless Light book. Austin Family Chronicles by. Madeleine L'Engle. Then came the Book Battle and reading A Ring of Endless Light, and those two disparate things fell into place in my head. After a tumultuous year in New York City, the Austins are. Nothing about the book felt true or natural to me. I don't just mean that the family seemed too good to be true, with their musical evenings and extreme intellectual superiority. They did, but in an odd way, as if they were Madeleine L'Engle's idealised version of how she and hers were.

In this award-winning young adult series from Madeleine L’Engle, author of A Wrinkle in Time, Vicky Austin experiences the difficulties and joys of growing up.

"This wasn't the first tie that I'd come close to death, but it was the first time I'd been involved in this part of it, this strange, terrible saying goodbye to someone you've loved."These are Vicky Austin's thoughts as she stands near Commander Rodney's grave while her grandfather, who himself is dying of cancer, recites the funeral service.

Watching his condition deteriorate over that long summer is almost more than she can bear. Then, in the midst of her struggle, she finds herself the center of attention for three young men. Leo, Commander Rodney's son, turns to her as an old friend seeki comfort but longing for romance. Zachary, whose attempted suicide inadvertently cauesd Commander Rodney's death, sees her as the one sane and normal person who can give some meaning ot his life. And Adam, a serious young student working at the nearby marine-biology station, discovers Vicky, his friend's little sister, incipient telepathic powers that can help him with his experiments in dolphin communications.

Vicky finds solace and brief moments of peace in her poetry, but life goes on around her, and the strain intensifies as she confromts matters of love and of death, of dependence and of responsibility, universal concerns that we all must face. The inevitable crisis comes and Vicky must rely on openness, sensitivity, and the love of others to overcome her private grief.

Once again, Madeleine L'Engle has written a story that reveals in the drama of vividly portrayed characters and events the spiritual and moral dimensions of common human experiences.

This was my first read by Madeleine L'Engle and I loved it because it handles death, grief, dying, God and the Bible, and the spiritual world so beautifully! I could really relate to Vicky. The best part is that it's a story and doesn't "advise." You will love it!

In this novel, two characters from past Austin novels are reintroduced. Three boys are fighting for Vicky's affection through their different attempts at love, and are all in some way or another associated with death as Vicky struggles with her own battles with the emotions that come with the passing of loved ones. Zachary, irresponsible and unpredictable as ever, is grieving the loss of his mother as he turns to Vicky for emotional support. His attempt to end his life leaves him thinking constantly about what he has to live for and who the loving mother figure in his life will be even if they are unwilling. Leo, the boy that Vicky grew up with, has made a comeback. The passing of his father leaves him groping for friendship as he notices the wealth gap between him and his competitor, Zachary. Adam, John's friend from MIT, comes to visit often and involves Vicky on his experiment with dolphins. But he shys away from relationships because of a secret from Portugal that he wishes not to reveal. Vicky meets dolphins that she never would have if it weren't for Adam, and learns that she understands wildlife. As Vicky learns about sickness and sometimes having to let people work out their problems on their own, she grows up a lot in just one summer.

As a retired school librarian, I can honestly say that this is one of the best books I have ever read, Although it is typically labelled "Young Adult", it is equally moving when read by an adult. Madeline L'Engle thoughtfully and sensitively deals with two major life transitions: dealing with death and finding personal worth. I recently used a poem from this book at my father's memorial service.

I didn't know about this book when I'm its teenaged target audience. Hubby introduced me to it as an adult. I have re-read it at every death in our two families. I find it more helpful for spiritual coping with bereavement than most nonfiction on the subject.

... knowing that eternity is akin to a ray of endless light is one way to keep the ever present spectre of death at bay. This is one of my most cherished stories for that reason, even setting aside the silly presence of teen romance.

Gold as Heart

If you were drawn to this book because of the small Dinsney movie, then prepare for something very different.
I loved the movie, and I loved the book- which is something rare, becaus eyou either love the book or movie.
Vicky is a teen who goes through so much, yet still keeps her center (sort of). I'm 22, and I just finished reading this book today and I couldn't put it down... L'Engle has a way of knowing exactly what teens are going through, and I could remember feeling just like Vicky when I was younger. I am definetly keeping this book and giving it to my future daughter.

great

This is just in response to another review that mentioned the Disney remake of this book. It was horrendous and unrecognizable. Disney slashed characters and trivialized the entire book. The powerful impact of Vicky's inner turmoil about her grandfather and life in general is replaced with a stupid boy interest that doesn't come close to the Adam in the book.

Side note: I've reread this book countless times and it remains one of my all-time favorites. It never fails to brighten my mood. Great characters and a family that seems too-good-to-be-true and real at the same time.
