" Grief exhibits Lewis' ability to capture the ear...Ralph Cosham gives a fluid and evenhanded reading to this soul-baring expose of emotion itself and the man who wrote about it." -- "AudioFile" "[ A Grief Observed ] 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." -- "Michael Joseph Gross" "A very personal, anguished, luminous little book about the meaning of death, marriage, and religion." -- "Publishers Weekly" "Reading A Grief Observed is to share not only in C. S. Lewis' grief, but in his understanding of love, and that is richness indeed." -- "Madeline L'Engle, from the foreword" C. S. Lewis (1898-1963) was a British novelist, poet, academic, medievalist, literary critic, essayist, lay theologian, broadcaster, lecturer, and Christian apologist.
