Join the Boston Smith College Club Book Club in May to discuss this classic by fellow Smithie Madeleine L’Engle (1941). A Wrinkle in Time tells the fantastical story of Meg, her little brother Charles Wallace, and their new friend Calvin, as they travel through space and time to rescue Meg and Charles’s father. L’Engle refers to fantasy as “what Erich Fromm calls the one universal language, the one and only language in the world that cuts across all barriers of time, place, race, and culture”, and “this is why we turn to them again and again when we are children, and still again when we have grown up” (from L’Engle’s Newbury Medal Acceptance Speech, August 1963)
