Column About Books A House Like a Lotus (O'Keefe Family #3)

I had a strong emotional reaction to this book. I felt like I could connect personally with Polly on many levels and in many situations, but Polly had the wrong reaction to almost every situation she was in. Like Polly, I was the oldest child who acted as a third parent to her siblings, I also had a younger family member who was more attractive / popular / social, and my mother was concerned that I didnt go to dances or have a boyfriend. Like Polly, many people in high school (and my Dad)

Warning: Here be spoilers!I read this when I was a teenager. I remember being enthralled and a little disturbed and confused. I was looking for something to read in the doctor's waiting room and decided to download this and read it. As an adult reader I notice that all the major characters in the novel are all amazing overachievers, brilliant, all charming, all at the tops of their careers, all who give our main character their full and thoughtful attention, all with seemingly good intentions.

This novel discussed sexuality more than I am comfortable with. I think it's supposed to be a young adult novel, but I wouldn't want my kids reading it until they were in their late teens.The writing was superb.

This is one of the L'Engle books I struggle with the most - the blatant homophobia in particular. I've never understood the big climactic crisis between Max and Polly - my impression is always that Max got drunk and weird (which might be a little upsetting), but I just can't see any signs of seduction - I think that's just people transferring their own homophobic fears there...... The supposedly sympathetic characters (starting with Meg and Calvin) talk in hushed tones about Max being a lesbian

A House Like a Lotus is a coming of age story about Polly, who is the daughter of Meg Murry and Calvin O'Keefe from _A Wrinkle in Time_. It coterminously tells the story of Polly's life on Benne Seed Island in South Carolina, where she is befriended by her wealthy artist neighbor Max, and the time Polly later spends in Greece with a fascinating international cast of supporting characters. Madeleine L'Engle was my favorite author from the time I was 9 to the time I was 16 or 17, and it is now in

Oh My God. Everyone keeps hitting on a literal child what even is this book?Is this an 80s thing? Like, gay people are weird, but guys in their 20s being all over a 16 year old is just kind of a thing that happens? 2018 is so different.Overall, I like the descriptions of Greece and Cyprus, I like the plot of sheltered teens figuring out that gay people exist, and I like the positive portrayals of lesbian partnerships and teens exploring their sexuality. However, I also have some major

This is a beautiful book with so much to offer, but my God, I want to revise it over and over until it rests comfortably in the 21st century. There are some instances where texts that are trying to be progressive age all the worse for their forward-thinking statements, and sadly A House Like a Lotus is one of them. This book was a formative influence on me growing up. I read it when I was twelve and was, well, deeply freaked out by the sex n' violence in it -- nothing on a level of what I expect
