It's sad news, though hers is a life long and well-lived. It's good to read remembrances and tributes by others who've read and loved her work.
I wrote a story about meeting Madeleine L'Engle at a book signing at Vroman's in Pasadena. The book event was for one book, but I wanted her to sign my copy of A Circle of Quiet -- bought from a library discard sale. The bookstore didn't want her to sign more than one of the new books, so it took a little speaking in code from Circle to get her attention and to get her to sign it.
