An Acceptable Time by Madeleine L'Engle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In the final book in the series, the main character is the daughter of the original main character. I like her better! Once again L'Engle comes up with a unique story. Not perfect, but interesting. Throughout the 5 book series, there is social commentary on war, pollution, poverty, etc., but I'm glad she left it as more of a concerned observation than a political judgment. Interestingly, each book in the series focuses more heavily on one or more members of the family, but none of the books really gave much life to the father. He was there, but distant and not well-developed, which I think was an unnecessary loss.
