Two hearts. One winter. A love that defies loneliness.

And Both Were Young, beloved author Madeleine L'Engle crafts a tender, emotionally rich story of transformation, healing, and first love.

Phillipa "Flip" Hunter is miserable. Shipped off to a strict Swiss boarding school while still grieving the loss of her mother, she feels like an outsider among the polished, worldly students-and even more distant from her distant, emotionally closed-off father. Isolated and uncertain, Flip retreats into her sketchbook, longing to find her place in the world.

Then comes Paul-a mysterious, brooding boy who's also hiding scars of his own. Their friendship blossoms slowly into something deeper, as both struggle with their pasts and search for identity, belonging, and hope. Set against the backdrop of snowy mountains and shadowed memories of postwar Europe, their connection becomes a quiet rebellion against fear and loss.

Poignant and romantic, And Both Were Young is a coming-of-age gem that explores the courage it takes to be seen-and loved-for who you truly are.
