A Severe Mercy

Book • 2014
A Severe Mercy is a deeply moving memoir that tells the story of Sheldon Vanauken and his wife Jean 'Davy' Davis.

The book recounts their intense and romantic love, their conversion to Christianity influenced by their friendship with C.S.

Lewis, and the profound spiritual struggles Vanauken faced after Davy's untimely death.

The memoir delves into themes of love, faith, grief, and the concept of 'severe mercy' as coined by C.S.

Lewis, who played a significant role in their spiritual journeys.

Through letters, poems, and personal reflections, Vanauken explores the complexities of human love and divine mercy.
