October Book : The Great Divorce

By C. S. Lewis

The title doesn't give an obvious explanation to the content of this short novel. The narrator dreams that he travels to the Valley of Light where he witnesses dialogues between "dammed souls" and "angels" sent to help them let go of their "sins" in order to enter heaven. (I'm using quotations because the novel is vague.) My personal opinion is that the divorce referred to in the title is the separation of an attachment to the secular.
