Dorothy and Jack

The Transforming Friendship of Dorothy L. Sayers and C.S. Lewis

By: Gina Dalfonzo

Narrated by: Pamela Klein

What happens when we push past the surface and allow real, grounded, mutually challenging, and edifying friendships to develop? We need only look at the little-known friendship between eminent Christian thinkers Dorothy L. Sayers and C. S. Lewis to find out. Born out of a fan letter that celebrated mystery novelist Sayers wrote to Lewis as his star was just beginning to rise, this friendship between a married woman and a longtime bachelor developed over years of correspondence as the two discovered their mutual admiration of each other's writing, thinking, and faith.

In a time when many Christians now aren't even sure that a man and a woman can be "just friends" and remain faithful, Gina Dalfonzo's engaging treatment of the relationship between two of Christianity's most important modern thinkers and writers will resonate deeply with anyone who longs for authentic, soul-stirring friendships that challenge them to grow intellectually and spiritually. Fans of Lewis and Sayers will find here a fascinating addition to their collections.

Magical

This was an entertaining and insightful look into the relationship between these two public, yet enigmatic, writers. I listened twice. and will listen again.

Delightful and Honest Reflections

A delightful Saturday read about two delightful people. Honest look at the written relationship between two great writers who knew how to develop friendships. I enjoyed every moment of it.

A bit "cute".

There is little in this book that is in any way new. It tends to the cute if not cutesie in its description of a friendship that would abhor that approach.
Not to be avoided, it is not really to be welcomed. Rather not needed is the description I give it.
