Summary
Summary
In late 1956, an item in The Times of London stunned England's literary set. Confirmed bachelor and celebrated Christian apologist C.S. Lewis announced his marriage to Joy Gresham. His choice could not have been more unlikely. Joy was an American, a divorcee, an ex-communist, and a former atheist. Yet this extraordinary and fascinating woman made a great impact on Lewis and his writings in the short time they together.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Kate Reading’s crisp British accent recounts the complicated life of Joy Davidman Gresham as she evolves from a teenage prodigy to a communist, atheist, and then, finally, a Christian…Dorsett’s book shines as he describes Davidman’s life with Christian apologist C. S. Lewis, whom Davidman pursued intellectually and spiritually, eventually marrying him. While the relationship between Davidman and Lewis was controversial, Dorsett paints the relationship as mutual, and Reading gives it equal respect. Together they provide a scholarly look at the lives of two gifted writers.” —AudioFile
