I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you NetGalley and Thomas Nelson.

I loved this exploration into the budding and then fruitful relationship of C.S. Lewis and Joy Davidman. The prose was beautiful and so many times the phrasing would capture my attention and cause me to read a line or paragraph once more.

I have often heard of the great love Lewis had for his wife and his tremendous grief at her passing, but I never knew their story until now. A love built with bricks of friendship and time. It makes me want to pick up A Grief Observed by Lewis (which I'm sure I'll need to read with a box of tissues).

If you love historical fiction based on real life and/or love stories that aren't grand, but mundane in the best way, you will enjoy this novel.
