The Bed Book of May

The Bed Book of May is The Great Divorce by C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis, also known as Clive Staples Lewis, titled his novel *The Great Divorce* as a deliberate contrast to William Blake’s *The Marriage of Heaven and Hell*. In the novel, Lewis portrays a group of people who take a bus journey from a dreary, grey town—symbolizing Hell—to the outskirts of Heaven. Once they arrive, they are invited to stay; however, most refuse because they are unwilling to relinquish their pride, fears, or personal attachments. The story illustrates that attaining Heaven requires letting go of sin and embracing humility and love.
