• A Grief Observed (1961) by C.S. Lewis
  In April 1956, C.S. Lewis, a confirmed bachelor, married Joy Davidman, an American poet with two small children. After four brief, intensely happy years, Lewis found himself alone again, and inconsolable. To defend himself against the loss of belief in God, Lewis wrote this journal, an eloquent statement of rediscovered faith. In it he freely confesses his doubts, his rage, and his awareness of human frailty. In it he finds again the way back to life.

• And God Came In: The Extraordinary Life of Joy Davidman (1983) by Lyle W. Dorsett

• Shadowlands (1991) by  William Nicholson
  In this brilliant play - based on the true story of the British philosopher and highly successful author of children's fantasies, C.S. Lewis - a confirmed bachelor, devout Roman Catholic, and reserved Oxford don, has been corresponding with an American fan, Joy Gresham, who is Jewish, a lapsed poet, the mother of a young son, and about to be divorced. When Joy shows up in England on a visit, Lewis' Oxford friends are disdainful, suspicious, and dismayed. Lewis is delighted and a sudden decision to secretly marry Joy, so that she may stay in England, will only be the first in a series of uncharacteristic acts for Lewis. What happens between Christianity's great apologist and the outspoken American is destined to call into question the foundations of Lewis' theology... and his understanding of both the sacred and the all-too-human heart.  See also Shadowlands, the 1993 novalization tie-in by Lenore Fleischer.
