A Severed Wasp

A Novel (Katherine Forrester Vigneras, Book 2)

By: Madeleine L'Engle

Narrated by: Kathleen Gati

A retired musician returns to performing in this “soul-satisfying” novel from the award-winning author of A Wrinkle in Time (Norman Lear).

Now in her 70s, Katherine Vigneras, née Forrester, has returned to New York City after a successful career touring as a concert pianist in Europe. Much has changed for Katherine: She is widowed and retired, and has lived through the harrowing years of World War II.

But when she encounters an old face from her youth in Greenwich Village, Katherine finds herself agreeing to perform at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, an endeavor that proves to be unexpectedly rewarding - and challenging.

Touching and thought-provoking, A Severed Wasp explores the ebbs and flows in the life of an artist, and continues the story of the singular character who began Madeleine L’Engle’s accomplished career as a writer in her debut novel, The Small Rain.

I love Madeleine L’Engle so much!

I love the embodiment of a more innocent time. The story of the human heart and love. The joy and anguish of living life.

Well Done

This is one of my favorite Madeline L'Engle books. Excellent reading, particularly of the foreign languages.
