Biografía breve
Joy Davidman was born in New York City to Jewish Polish-Ukrainian immigrant parents. She was considered a child prodigy, finishing high school at age 14 and earning a master's degree from Columbia University in English literature at age 20. After a brief career as a teacher, she became a reader and editor at Poetry Magazine. For her book of poems, Letters to a Comrade, she won the Yale Series of Younger Poets Competition in 1938 and the Russell Loines Award for Poetry in 1939. She converted to Christianity in the 1940s. Following a divorce from her first husband, the self-described "Anglomaniac" Davidman went to England in 1953 with her two sons. She had previously met C.S. Lewis, who wrote the preface for her book Smoke on the Mountain (1954); they married in 1956.
Their relationship was the subject of Shadowlands, a BBC TV movie, a stage play, and a film.

Highly insightful ideas about modern life viewed through an ancient lens. The reader will be interested and challenged by the fiery author.

Despite being over 50 years old, this speaks well to contemporary Christians, and anyone interested in the relevance of the Ten Commandments today. Davidman - who later married the better-known CS Lewis - has a readable, incisive style, with some excellent insights into culture of both the Ancient Hebrews and the western world in the 1950s... much of which still holds today. It's many years since I read this, and I was surprised how fresh and interesting it seemed. Excellent!
