The Great Divorce
by C.S. Lewis
[2023] Read this for the first time as a sophomore in college taking an honors English class. That class changed my life. I picked it up this year after a coworker brought it up again.
It’s just so incredible. The stories, lessons, symbols, metaphors. I had forgotten. And now, reading it with a much more mature eye, I was able to feel and things I didn’t capture as a 19 year old.
The scene with the man and the lizard. Pages 106-112 made me cry. That kind of transformation is a literal miracle. I’ve recently felt that and while I’m not yet on my own horse, racing toward the mountains, we’re getting closer. The description of Sarah Smith (p. 118-120) was really beautiful. It reminds me of a Caitlin Connolly painting I own.
Such a great book. Read it and then let’s chat.
