A Ring of Endless Light by Madeleine L'Engle

Synopsis: About a girl named Vicky who is visiting Seven Bay Island with her family to be with her dying grandfather. Vicky is faced with many heartbreaking challenges including the death of a family friend, the attempted suicide of her ex-boyfriend and her slowly dying grandfather. She also has three main romantic interests that she has to handle with while working on a dolphin-human communications project at a local marine biology research center.

Review: I remember loving it when I read it years back, but as I read it again I was disappointed by the lack of character strength and motivation. Most all of the characters let me down in one way or another and I found Vicky to be a very confused little girl. I did see some growth, but not enough to satisfy me. All in all, I would rate this book as okay-at least for me. Once again, years back I held this book in the highest regard.
