"Sheldon Vanauken is always a pleasure to read. Nothing beats A Severe Mercy, of course, but I wasn't expecting it to--rather, it fills in some blanks which the first book had left me wondering about, and gives a glimpse into Vanauken's heart after Davy's death. Quite a trip it is, too. It's very interesting to see how he ends up questioning or repudiating much of his '60s radicalism (with the exception of his Civil Rights involvement), and whether or not the reader agrees with his later stance on, say, ordination of women to the priesthood, it's hard to deny that he's considered the issues from various perspectives (having embraced many of them at one point or another). Being a bit of a sucker for conversion stories, I also enjoyed the story of how he went over to Catholicism from the Episcopal Church. The book is also a sort of anthology of some of Vanauken's poetry, essays, and stories from the late 50's through the early 80's. While some of these were more absorbing than others, they were mostly chosen with an eye toward moving the story along and weren't just thrown in gratuitously. A worthwhile, insightful read."
"This book is the sequel to "A Severe Mercy". Once I discovered it, I was eager to read it. The book provides additional details to the original story, as well as commentary on the author's life.
This is a good read, but those, like me, who are looking to relive the brilliance of "A Severe Mercy" will probably find it somewhat disappointing. Vanuakin is cursed with the fabulous success of the previous work. Which is too bad, because this book is probably strong enough to stand on it's own, even if it does pale in comparison to his previous."
"Some say this one isn't as good as A Severe Mercy, and I'll agree that they are very different books. But, this is a powerful and moving book. Very good. :)"
