4.0 out of 5 stars Good Love Story, February 2, 1998

By	Edward Lee (Santa Barbara, CA United States) - See all my reviews

A touching play, based on the true love story of C.S. Lewis and Joy Gresham. Very well written in simple words about "love, pain, and suffering." Witty, funny, honest, very human. -- Ed Lee

5.0 out of 5 stars A clarification, August 22, 2003

By A Customer

This is a great play, but an earlier review incorrectly identifes Lewis as the author of the "Alice In Wonderland" stories, when he wrote the Narnia Chronicles.

5.0 out of 5 stars An example to follow, July 21, 2003

By	Patricia H. Parker "Bookwoman" (Springfield, Massachusetts United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I first read this book and my husband and I first watched the film together, he was well, and we were very happy. It was a second marriage for both of us, and we planned on making up for time lost in, unsuccessful, unhappy marriages for both of us, with another twenty or so years of happiness together. He has since passed away after we fought his Cancer together for almost two years. Obviously, the story of Shadowlands has taken on new meaning for me. I have, since his death, read "Grief Observed" by C. S. Lewis, and I would recommend that anyone reading "Shadowlands", also read this essay. It isn't very long, and it helps incredibly to bring some meaning to these tragedies of life.
