Recenzii
'. . . a deeply moving story about love and loss that is transformative and magical.'
'. . . an incredible portrait of a complex woman.'
'Callahan crafts a masterpiece that details the friendship and ultimate romance between the real Davidman and Lewis . . . a magical and literary experience that won't be soon forgotten.'
'I was swept along, filled with hope, and entirely beguiled.'
'Patti Callahan has written my favorite book of the year. BECOMING MRS. LEWIS deftly explores the life and work of Joy Davidman, a bold and brilliant woman who is long overdue her time in the spotlight. Carefully researched. Beautifully written. Deeply romantic. Fiercely intelligent. It is both a meditation on marriage and a whopping grand adventure. Touching, tender, and triumphant, this is a love story for the ages.'
'The result of [Patti's] work has turned out to be extraordinary. Callahan's book, which she claims to be semi-fictional, somehow captures the everyday nature of my mother rather beautifully! It tells us not merely of a courageous great poet, a novelist and even something of a theologian, but of a great woman. And that is something that I think should be known.'
'This is the book Patti Callahan was born to write. BECOMING MRS. LEWIS is a tour de force and the must-read of the season!'
