Now playing: An Acceptable Time

This week’s list includes An Acceptable Time, from Madeleine L’Engle. Press play and stay for every chapter.

A flash of lightning, quivering ground, and, instead of her grandparents’ farm, Polly sees mist and jagged mountains – and, coming toward her, a group of young men carrying spears.   Why has a time gate opened and dropped Polly into a world that existed 3,000 years ago? Will she be able to get back to the present before the time gate closes – and leaves her to face a group of people who believe in human sacrifice? ©2007 Madeleine L’Engle; 2008 Listening Library
