About this listen

What happens when we push past the surface and allow real, grounded, mutually challenging, and edifying friendships to develop? We need only look at the little-known friendship between eminent Christian thinkers Dorothy L. Sayers and C. S. Lewis to find out. Born out of a fan letter that celebrated mystery novelist Sayers wrote to Lewis as his star was just beginning to rise, this friendship between a married woman and a longtime bachelor developed over years of correspondence as the two discovered their mutual admiration of each other's writing, thinking, and faith.

In a time when many Christians now aren't even sure that a man and a woman can be "just friends" and remain faithful, Gina Dalfonzo's engaging treatment of the relationship between two of Christianity's most important modern thinkers and writers will resonate deeply with anyone who longs for authentic, soul-stirring friendships that challenge them to grow intellectually and spiritually. Fans of Lewis and Sayers will find here a fascinating addition to their collections.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Satisfying, for fans of Jack and Dorothy

The reader was very good overall. I didn't think her British accent for Ms. Sayers was very convincing, and why wasn't there an accent for Mr. Lewis if there was for Ms. Sayers?

The story would've been more engaging if more of the actual letters were edited in. I'd rather read of their friendship from their own mouths than just read summaries of it from another. It did end nicely, though, with Mr. Lewis's panegyric for Ms. Sayers, after her death, and one that the author suggests for Mr. Lewis from Ms. Sayers.
