HTML:<p><b>Long out of print, the second novel by the bestselling author of <i>A Wrinkle in Time</i> looks at the darker side of love in a Southern town.</b><br /> From the moment Henry Porcher first sees Ilsa Brandes, he worships her. Despite controversy surrounding the young girl, Henry is drawn to her, a fascination that turns into a lifelong infatuation.<br /> <br /> As the years pass, Ilsa's memory never leaves him, not until the day he returns to their sleepy Southern hometown and renews their childhood friendship. Henry watches as she becomes a wife, then a mother, then a widow, irrevocably changed by tragedy.<br /> <br /> Out of print for nearly six decades, this rare and sought-after novel is a portrait of a remarkable woman bound by both the stifling conventions of her time and place, and her own sense of honor and purpose.<br /> <br /> A departure from L'Engle's later works, <i>Ilsa</i> is a dark, intriguing novel about passion, fixation, and the real price of unrequited love by an author renowned for her children's classics as well as her candid personal memoirs.<br /> <br /> <i>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Madeleine L'Engle including rare images from the author's estate.</i><br /></p>.
