Patti Callahan took a character on the periphery, one who has historically taken a back seat to her male counterpart, and given her a fierce, passionate voice. For those fans of Lewis curious about the woman who inspired A Grief Observed this book offers a convincing, fascinating glimpse into the private lives of two very remarkable individuals.

Years ago, a group of friends got together and started a book club. There are a few of us who are still here from that original group, and many have come and gone throughout the years. During that time, we have created lasting memories, read a lot of wonderful books, and eaten some great food. Thanks to all who have joined me on this journey. Since this blog was created quite a few years after the inception of our book group, the list of books we have read is incomplete.
