Vicky knows she should feel sorry for Maggy, but having sympathy for Maggy is no easy thing. As if simply being 14 years old wasn't bad enough - what with the usual teenage angst and uncertainty, Vicky Austin's always comforting and reliable home life is changing completely. Her brother John is going off to college in the fall. Maggy, an orphan taken in by the Austins two years ago, has gone to live with her legal guardian. And the rest of Vicky's family is moving from their quiet house in the country to the heart of New York City.

A flash of lightning, quivering ground, and, instead of her grandparents' farm, Polly sees mist and jagged mountains - and, coming toward her, a group of young men carrying spears. Why has a time gate An Acceptable Time and dropped Polly into a world that existed 3, years ago? Will she be able to get back to the present before the time gate closes - and leaves An Acceptable Time to face a group of people who believe in human sacrifice? All of Madeleine L'Engle's books that I have listened to have been up beat with good moral lessons. The healthy mix of mythology, science and good moral sense added to a An Acceptable Time written story line leaves a fresh taste in the mouth and An Acceptable Time lifting of the heart. She was truly a master story teller. Well done. I look forward to the continuing story and saga. Though the book starts a little slow the ups and Downs that Polly goes through keeps you on your seat! As far An Acceptable Time depth I enjoyed this the most out of the time series. It is a much deeper and more mature story than the Other ones in the series yet the depth Is necessary. At first I was not sure if I liked the ending. Upon pondering I believe it was better the way she left it. I hope you love it as much as I do. I read the first three books in this series when I was much younger and really liked them. An Acceptable Time decided to re-read all of them plus the last two in the series, which I had never read. I really wish I had stopped after re-reading the first three. The first three books are fantastic--very well-written and enjoyable. The last An Acceptable Time books were significant disappointments when compared to the first three. The fourth book was by far the most disappointing, as I addressed in another review. The fifth book is significantly better than the fourth, but it still falls well-short of the quality of the original three. And for a book with accepting themes, it certainly did its fair share of mudslinging. WAY too much pontificating. Would you listen to An Acceptable Time again? This book meets an exceptionally rare demographic What was one of the most memorable moments of An Acceptable Time? The rain storm. No Spoilers! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I particularly liked the fact that the pacing and conflict were maintained throughout, even though every single one of the An Acceptable Time were sympathetically drawn. No true villains in this piece. A truly family-friendly book. An Acceptable Time by Madeleine L'Engle | Audiobook |
