“There is no other day. All days are present now. This moment contains all moments.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce

To answer my own question above, I find that I really want to love these types of novels but often get lost in them - what am I supposed to be taking from this? Was this sentence supposed to have more significance than I'm giving it? Is there a study guide? Am I a dolt? 😅

All that being said, once I gave in to the story as it was being presented, I did find a lot to take from this novel and found that it gave me a lot to discuss with my husband, which I ultimately enjoyed quite a bit. Not having a lot of background with Scripture I can't speak eloquently to the themes and lessons presented as they connect with theology, but I did find a lot to ponder and a lot that was very profound in the way CS Lewis wrote this book.

Also, hilariously, I asked my husband to choose my first book of 2023 and, after perusing his shelves, he presented me with this - to which I responded with a quirked eyebrow and a "Do we need to talk?" 😂 Rest assured though, this is not about the marriage between two people, but rather whether a marriage between good and evil can ever exist - or whether there should be a divorce of those two ideas.
