Becoming Mrs. Lewis: The Improbable Love Story of Joy Davidman and C. S. Lewis

Product Information

I had run across WAM and was completely impressed with what they were doing in the world, so I contacted them to partner.

Although separated by an ocean, seventeen years difference in age, and individual traumas, love is powerful. Surely there must be something better out there to show what Lewis’ relationship with his wife was like, and gives glory to Christ for such a redemptive story rather than giving glory to Joy and Jack. I was frustrated and bored because it felt as though the author couldn't decide whether this was a biographical novel, religious fiction, or chick lit, and the combination just did not work for me.

Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). A: Acceptance was so important to Joy because it was something she never had as a child, or as a wife in her first marriage. There were some wonderful reading moments in this story as the author interspersed Joy's poetry and sonnets with the text of the story.

Struggling with an unhappy marriage, her writing career and health, and matters of faith, Joy Davidman begins writing to well-known author, C. With over 6 million of the world’s best eBooks to choose from, Kobo offers you a whole world of reading. Overall, I am a little let-down I didn’t have the experience I was hoping for with this book- but I did like the book enough to give it a three- star rating- mostly based on the quality of the writing and that I learned a lot about Joy’s life and found her journey to be unique and interesting, if very sad. When you think you have it all down and understand their lives separately and together you will discover your understanding is just at it's beginning. Despite being based on a very real and very interesting person who carefully selects her words, Joy Davidman is presented as a limp noodle who speaks in an annoying stream-of-consciousness way.Unless explicitly stated that they are free, all books that I review have been purchased by me or borrowed from the library. S. Lewis were an unlikely match, separated by an ocean, an age difference, ghosts of the past, and the general complications of life, and yet love has the power to conquer all.
