"A fantastic and true story...very moving and inspiring. I highly suggest that if you want an uplifting story about how love increases through time, take the time to read this. It is not a fast moving story, but the content is very rich and memorable. I think that I enjoyed it so much because many of my thoughts and feelings about marriage and relationships are poured onto the pages, some great thinking points for sure!"
"Absolutely loved reading this autobiography! It concentrates on the love story between Madeleine and her actor husband Hugh Franklin, starting from when she first met him (it was love at first sight for her) until his death of cancer at the age of 70. I loved reading about how they coped with his illness, I loved her positive attitude of life, I loved that she could look back at her life with Hugh with no regrets, but instead with total appreciation of the happiness they shared through good times and bad. And at the end, she could say goodbye to him with much sadness but with the peace that comes from her faith and from the knowledge that he left with no unfinished business in their relationship and that she did all that she could do for him. What a gift!
Quote from book that shows the love they shared with each other: "Music I heard with you was more than music, and bread I broke with you was more than bread.""
"A beautiful look at friendship, courtship, marriage, happiness, and grief all tied up in a small book. It is a wonderful walk through the relationship between Madeleine and Hugh. This is the way a marriage is supposed to be. A wonderful example of the power of love, especially when marriage vows are taken seriously and two people give themselves completely to one another and let nothing or no one else come between them.
I read some of Madeleine L'Engle's books when I was younger. I have rediscovered her again and I have loved the reunion. Madeleine is at the top of my list of favorite authors."
"Though I had a hard time getting into this book, finally about the sixth chapter I found interest, she is definitely an author who makes you think. I really enjoyed her spiritual journey through her husband's illness, the love she shares with family and friends, and how grounded she is. I learned a lot. A very intelligent writer."
