I remember being really mad because I thought it would be about Meg's daughter, maybe with Meg in it too! Alas. And forty years later it appears that I'm still mad! Some grudges are worth it.

I didn't know this before checking, but according to WikiP ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Quintet ), Polyhymnia is Meg's daughter.

I read the first 3 of the Time series, and bounced hard off of "Many Waters", and I don't think I read anything else by L'Engle.

There is no hint of the girl who saved her dad in the woman Meg supposedly became by The Arm of the Starfish.

^ that, yes.

It was written earlier, IIRC. It was certainly written before others in the Time Trilogy.

Edit: Nope, I am wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madeleine_L%27Engle

That article mentions something in that series that I'd never heard of before: "Intergalactic P.S. 3". It looks like an odd prototype for A Wind in the Door.

I'm carrying it right along with you. This book was awful.
