Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

A heart-rending love story described by its author as “the spiritual autobiography of a love rather than of the lovers” about the author’s marriage and search for faith.

Vanauken chronicles the birth of a powerful pagan love borne out of the relationship he shares with his wife, Davy, and describes the growth of their relationship and the dreams that they share.

A beloved, profoundly moving account of the author's marriage, the couple's search for faith and friendship with C. S. Lewis, and a spiritual strength that sustained Vanauken after his wife's untimely death. Replete with 18 letters from C.S. Lewis, A Severe Mercy addresses some of the universal questions that surround faith--the existence of God and the reasons behind tragedy.

“Here is a book for anyone who has truly loved another person.” (Christianity Today)

“[A] deep, uncompromising story about human and divine love.” (Los Angeles Times)

“A towering and noble work in its own right, wrought by a real craftsman . ..” (New Oxford Review)

“A gem of a book . . . delivers an extraordinary impact on the reader.” (Eternity)
