Description
The film Shadowlands retells one of the most moving, beautiful but unlikely love stories of the twentieth century.
In December 1956, The Times personal columns carried a discreetly worded announcement of the marriage of the celebrated author, don and Christian apologist, C.S. Lewis, to an outspoken American divorcee, Joy Davidman. The news sent shock waves through proper English society.
This unique biography, based on original letters and family papers, tells Joy's remarkable story. Brash, rebellious, with a ferocious intellect and frequently an unbridled tongue, there was never anything ordinary about the woman who captivated the crusty OXford bachelor.
A Jew turned atheist turned Communist, it was through reading the works of C.S. Lewis that she converted to Christianity and wrote the letter that was to change the course of her life and bring to Lewis a profound yet tragically brief happiness.
