And Both Were Young by Madeleine L'Engle

4.0

Set in Switzerland, the story of Flip's coming-of-age is heartwarming. Although written a number of years ago, this story could easily take place in a contemporary setting, making it accessible to today's teens. The trials of adolescence, life in boarding school, and grief for a deceased parent merge well under the hand of the incomparable Madeleine L'Engle. True comfort food.
