Book Review

Joy: Poet, Seeker, and the Woman Who Captivated C. S. LewisJoy: Poet, Seeker, and the Woman Who Captivated C. S. Lewis by Abigail Santamaria
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Abigail Santamaria has done C.S. Lewis fans a great service in this wonderful biography of Joy Davidman (Gresham) Lewis. She fills in many of the blanks in our knowledge of Joy. Joy Davidman was a brilliant individual, a one time Communist, Scientologist and an excellent writer. She was obsessed with C.S. Lewis and her pursuit of him is chronicled here in full.
I read this along with Joy's son Douglas' "Lenten Lands," about his childhood with Joy and "Jack."
Give yourself a treat and read this book.
