Time Travel

Many Waters

by Madeleine L'Engle · Time Quintet series

Meg's twin brothers are pulled into the time of Noah, where they must survive a desert, a family's dysfunction, and the foreknowledge of the coming flood. The strangest and most divisive entry in the Quintet, Many Waters relocates L'Engle's metaphysical concerns into Old Testament heat and questions of free will inside a story already written.
