A Wrinkle in Time

I have rated this book a 3.5 out of 5 stars and I will discuss it in more detail in my Instagram live discussion with Anthony Andrews however I did develop a soft spot for this novel which defines all categories and simple explanations. This book follows Meg, Calvin and Charles Wallace on an epic adventure to find and save Meg and Charles Wallace's father from the darkness. Along the way Meg, Cal and Charles encounter the eccentric characters of Mrs Who, Mrs Whatsit and Mrs Witch, learn how to tesser and find themselves on the planet of camazotes. While I didn't fall in love with the story as a whole as I found the adventure elements of the plot very fast, rushed and not very memorable. I really enjoyed the Mrs W characters, Meg, Charles and Calvin and I loved the meaning behind the story much more than the story itself. This book explores identity, politics, society, feminism, and familiar ties as well as much much more and I can understand which it is such a beloved classic. While I will undoubtedly forget the plot before too long, the characters of Charles, Meg, Mrs Witch, Mrs Who and Mrs Whatsit will stay with me and my younger self wishes I had met these fabulous characters in my youth!
