The Great Divorce
by C.S. Lewis
A Journey to Joy’s True Source
4.5/5
C.S. Lewis’s The Great Divorce is a compelling exploration of human nature and divine truth, delivered with prose that’s clear and beautiful. The story’s imaginative journey from a dreary town to a vibrant, heavenly realm hooked me, its settings alive with meaning. Lewis’s characters, flawed and relatable, wrestle with desires and choices in ways that spark deep reflection. I loved how he weaves faith into the narrative, showing, as he writes, “You cannot love a fellow-creature fully till you love God.” The discussion of loss, like the mother grieving her son, hit home, offering insight into life’s toughest questions. Nothing felt lacking—Lewis’s creativity and pacing kept me engaged. Overall, it’s a profound, enjoyable read that frames heaven, hell, and human longing in a fresh way, leaving me thoughtful about joy’s true source. It’s a book I’d recommend to anyone seeking depth.
