About this listen

 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 had together.

Loved it!

What a wonderful true story of a briliant woman who was an amazing writer in her own right. This book brings the life of C. S Lewis full circle. It indeed tells of a wonderful love story.

Confession of a communist radical.

Chapter 2 stood out most. Joy joining the communist party becomming a radical. She was a dihosnest writer sacreficing truth for ideology. It gave me great insight how that worked.
The book further ispiered me how God came into Joys life. Further it cautioned me how to view marriage.
Kate redding did a excellent job this time solo, not with her husband Michael Kramer, I know from the Wheel of Time sierie.
I'm glad I've read Joys story.
