A review by bbrassfield
A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeleine L'Engle

4.0

Excellent. In the years since I last picked up a L'Engle novel I had forgotten just what an incredible prose stylist she was. Her writing is quite rhythmic and nicely parallels her subject matter. I give this novel four stars only because there is one relatively short sequence that I think could have been excised and the story made the stronger because of it but really the heart of the story is quite brilliant she is writing incredibly intelligent fiction for young people.
