Joy and Bill Wedding Photo

Joy Davidman is known, if she is known at all, as the wife of C. S. Lewis. Their marriage was immortalized in the film "Shadowlands" and Lewis’s memoir, A Grief Observed. A poet and radical, Davidman was a frequent contributor to the communist magazine New Masses and an active member of New York literary circles in the 1930s and 40s. Abigail Santamaria tells her story in Joy: Poet, Seeker, and the Woman Who Captivated C.S. Lewis.
