Lenten Lands

There has been probably never been a less likely couple: she, an American divorcee and the mother of two young boys; he, an Oxford don and confirmed bachelor who inhabited an eccentric household with his brother, a retired Royal Army major. Yet the relationship of C.S. Lewis and Joy Davidman, portrayed in this moving autobiography by her son Douglas Gresham, was destined to become one of the most deeply moving love stories of our time.

Now re-releasing as a part of the Lives of Faith series, this is Douglas Gresham’s delightful memoir of the true story that inspired the critically acclaimed film Shadowlands.

Douglas Gresham is the son of Joy Davidman, who later married C.S. Lewis. As a boy, Gresham lived at "The Kilns," the Oxfordshire home Lewis shared with his brother Warnie, and then Davidman. After many years in Tasmania, Australia, he now lives in County Carlow, Ireland.

"A moving recollection of one of the most tender love stories of mid-century."
