Why read it?
1 author picked Becoming Mrs. Lewis as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Becoming Mrs. Lewis is the improbable love story of Joy Davidman and C. S. Lewis. And, at the novel’s onset, their coupling truly feels improbable.

I wholly respect how Joy creates a new life for herself.
From Jenni's list on women paving their way in a man’s world.
