In the exchange of letters she discovered a man who would make her feel a way that her alcoholic, cruel husband could never do. Filled with interesting tales of stories we’ve all grown up with, and romance lining every page, Becoming Mrs Lewis is a must read for any literary lover.

Her husband is moody and drinks too much, and while there is palpable love between them, there is also a distance, a disconnect.Through her great friendship with Lewis, she finds enduring love, a trusted friend and confidant, and a true writing partner.

She went on to specialise in Ophthalmology, training initially at the Royal Eye Infirmary, Plymouth. Nowadays, when I reflect on my interest in English, I can thank my aunt, an English teacher who clearly understood the importance of reading.I was excited to learn more about their life (with a little bit of flair as it’s biographical fiction) but it’s dead boring and very frustrating. She is the co-host and co-creator of the popular weekly online Friends and Fiction live web show and podcast. This is a beautiful and unflinchingly honest record of how even a stalwart believer can lose all sense of meaning in the universe, and how he can gradually regain his bearings. The aim of my Twitter feed was to provide a resource in a time when many people had received very little, if any, grammar teaching at school.
