The dust jacket has a fair bit of shelf wear, but the interiors pages are in fantastic condition. We’d rate this one Like New if the dust jacket were only less worn. A Severe Mercy tells the tale of a real-life love story full of wonder and hope between Sheldon (“Van”) and Jean (“Davy”) Vanauken. Along the way the couple met and became friends with C. S. Lewis. When Davy succumbs to an illness that takes her life Van finds support and comfort in the faith C. S. Lewis had brought them to. Included in the book are 18 previously unpublished letters from Lewis.
