Book overview

A beautiful keepsake edition of this classic trial of faith, wherein Lewis probes the fundamental issues of life and death, and summons those who grieve to honest mourning and hope in the midst of loss

"I am grateful to Lewis for having the courage to yell, to doubt, to kick at God in angry violence. This is a part of a healthy grief which is not often encouraged." - Madeline L'Engle

A Grief Observed is C.S. Lewis's honest reflection on the fundamental issues of life, death, and faith in the midst of loss. Written after his wife's tragic death as a way of surviving the "mad midnight moments," A Grief Observed is an unflinchingly truthful account of how loss can lead even a stalwart believer to lose all sense of meaning in the universe, and how he can gradually regain his bearings.

Now in a deluxe edition featuring gilded pages, C. S. Lewis's brilliant and enduring work remains fresh and vital for readers today.
