Paula McLain's historical romance is a heart-wrenching tale of love and loss.



Joy Davidman, a poet, atheist, and communist from New York, is an unconventional woman and an unlikely partner for an English academic and theologian. When she starts a correspondence with C. S.

Embarking on the adventure of a lifetime, Joy travels from America to England and back again. Facing heartbreak and poverty, discovering friendship and faith, against all the odds, the couple struggles to secure a love that will endure forever.
