Download Two-Part Invention: The Story of a Marriage AudioBook Free
In the final memoir of her Crosswicks Journals, the author of A Wrinkle in Time paints a romantic portrait of her 40-yr marriage. A long-term marriage must move beyond chemistry to compatibility, to camaraderie, to companionship. As Newbery Medal winner Madeleine L'Engle explains a relationship seen as a compassion, admiration, and development, as well as concern and turmoil, she wonderfully evokes the life span she and her man, professional Hugh Franklin, built and the family they valued. Beginning with their very different childhoods, L'Engle chronicles the twists and changes that led two young musicians and artists to New York City in the 1940s, where they were both pursuing jobs in movie theater. While working on a creation of Anton Chekov's The Cherry Orchard, they sparked an association that would put up with until Franklin's death in 1986. L'Engle recalls years spent elevating their children at Crosswicks, the Connecticut farmhouse that became an icon of family, and the support she and her man drew from each other as artists battling - individually and along - to find both professional and personal fulfillment. At once heartfelt and heartbreaking, Two-Part Technology is L'Engle's most personal work - the revelation of an marriage and the exploration of intertwined lives undoubtedly designated by love and loss.
