A House Like a Lotus (O'Keefe Family #3)
Madeleine L'Engle
- Reading
- As the third O’Keefe family book, it may suit readers who enjoy returning to a series; readers new to it might prefer to begin with an earlier book.
- Themes
- Processing difficult experiences: While working at a conference in Cyprus, Polly tries to come to terms with events preceding her arrival and with relationships involving old and new friends. The premise foregrounds Polly’s effort to process experience, making her inner and social life the organising focus.
- Worth knowing
- The premise includes emotionally tumultuous events and relationships. A reader who finds emotionally charged interpersonal material difficult may appreciate knowing that this is part of Polly’s story.
