Madeleine L’Engle has passed away.
I still remember reading “A Wrinkle in Time” for the first time and being enthralled (and certain that I must have gotten ahold of an adult’s book instead).
Years later when I delved into quantum theory, I realized that I had already delved into it thanks to L’Engle’s books. Truly a loss, but one mitigated by all the wonderful works with which she has left us.
