Becoming Mrs. Lewis

Becoming Mrs. Lewis is unlike any story I’ve read before. Although it’s a long read, (416 pages) I plunged into the highly researched world of Joy Davidman, and C.S. Lewis. Sometimes I found it hard to sympathize fully with Joy, but I loved how her trials were portrayed realistically, and how they each may have strayed from their Christian beliefs without abandoning them.

Previous to this book I had little knowledge of C.S. Lewis’s life or his writing, but the author did a wonderful job of presenting the ups and downs of their unconventional relationship. Not only was I entertained, but I learned a lot about the literary and personal world of Mrs. Lewis. 

This is the first book I've read by Pattie Callahan, and her writing style is amazing. 

Her novel is enchanting, as well as providing an in-depth view into the life between a couple of authors embracing life through prose, and self-discovery.
