Search - A House Like a Lotus

Quite surprised by the Gay/Lesbian and genereal sexuality theme in this. Haven't encountered that with L'engle before and I've read dozens of her books.

This book is a story about growing up that deals with the REAL crises that come with growing up. L'Engle deals with sexuality in a very honest way, discussing not only the questions that are asked in the process of maturity, but also the bigger issues and emotions that come alongside it. Very different from L'Engle's other books that I have read, but still worth reading.

Yeah, like someone else said this includes a gay/lesbian angle and some sexuality. My question is, Polly is only like 15 or 16 and the guy she has sex with is quite a bit older. Isn't this considered statutory rape? Hello people.... And then she's all shocked that her friend is a lesbian.
I've just discovered that this book is re-published. Why? Who decided this? There are other better books by her that should have been re-published.
I did enjoy reading the book and it brought up a lot of ideas that will, maybe, make people think. But I think that parents should read this first before their "adult" children do.
Just my opinion.
