L'Engle also wrote a poignant memoir of living thru her husband's death from cancer. I second the Wrinkle in Time recommendation, strongly.

Her books frequently involve Christian characters and backgrounds, but they aren't heavily theological. You should at least read <i>A Wrinkle in Time</i>, though.

When I say that I have to admit I haven't actually read any of her novels. But I've read articles by her, and interviews with her. In those pieces she has stated clearly that a central point in her world-view is a strong distinction between Truth and Fact. As something of a follower of Francis Schaeffer, I consider this very dangerous thinking indeed, and likely to lead to a denial of the Incarnation.
