''Camilla Dickinson'', also published as ''Camilla'' (ISBN 0-440-01020-9), is a 1951 novel by Madeleine L'Engle. Camilla Dickinson, a fifteen-year-old New Yorker, narrates an important approximately three-week period of her life in November 1950.
==Plot summary==
Camilla Dickinson is fifteen, wants nothing more than to become an astronomer, and is facing significant problems at home. Her mother, Rose, has begun an affair with a man named Jacques. Her mother begs Camilla to keep it a secret, while Camilla's father, Rafferty, asks her to be honest and tell him the truth. Camilla is torn between her loyalty to both parents and begins to realize they are very imperfect people.
To cope with the struggle, Camilla befriends Frank Rowan, her best friend Luisa's older brother. He is understanding of her problems and assists her in accepting her parents flaws. Frank encourages Camilla to define herself, not by her family, but to define herself as who she truly is. The pair share ideas on life, religion and philosophy and begin to form a romantic attachment. Frank's and Luisa's parents fight constantly, and both teenagers are wholly aware that it will most likely end in divorce. The parallels to the Rowans' bad marriage and that of Camilla's parents is a large component of Camilla and Luisa's friendship. Luisa wants to be a psychiatrist when she is an adult, and spends part of the book psychoanalyzing Camilla. Most of this book centers around the idea of growing up and learning how to be deal with hard things. Towards the end of the book, right as Camilla is getting comfortable with the way things are, everything changes again. Frank and Luisa's parents break up, and Frank is forced to suddenly move away with his father. Camilla's parents decide to work on their marriage and go on a European Vacation together,sending Camilla to boarding school while they're gone. While Camilla is heartbroken by the loss of her closest relationships, she uses the inner strength she has gained in the past weeks to deal with the changes in her life.
