An Acceptable Time
Madeleine L'Engle
An Acceptable Time, the final book in Madeleine L'Engle’s Time Quintet, the series that began with the Newbery Award winner A Wrinkle in Time. While spending time with her grandparents, Alex and Kate Murry, Polly O'Keefe wanders into a time 3,000 years before her own.
A rich and heady brew … fine fantasy, firmly rooted in reality.“ –Publisher’s Weekly
Under their feet, the ground seemed to tremble.
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 opened and dropped Polly into a world that existed 3,000 years ago? Will she be able to get back to the present before the time gate closes – and leaves her to face a group of people who believe in human sacrifice?
Praise for An Acceptable Time:
When Polly O'Keefe visits her grandparents in Connecticut, she finds herself caught up in the lives of three mysterious strangers [who lived] 3,000 years ago [and] travels back in time to play a crucial role in an ancient confrontation… L'Engle has again achieved the award-winning style of A Wrinkle in Time… Highly recommended. –VOYA
