No, sorry. I have read it within the last 3 months though!

Hi, Karla,
It isn't really a study guide, but there are some good questions for discussion at the website



There are a lot of things the author of the website doesn't include, alas. For instance:

1. How and why the title is a play on the William Blake's poem "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell".

2. A mention of, or explanation of, the medieval concept of the refrigerium (the vacation from Hell).


But, it is a good starting point.

Selah,
Sven
Rat! he found breath to whisper, shaking. Are you afraid?
Afraid? murmured the Rat, his eyes shining with unutterable love.
Afraid! Of Him? O, never, never! And yet -- and yet -- O, Mole, I am afraid!
Then the two animals, crouching to the earth, bowed their heads and did worship.

the only thing I have in my "Great Divorce" book is a print out of this web site which I found helpful: http://www.lindentree.org/grtdvc.html

I was pleased to know that Lewis felt strongly about this book. I have always prized it as "my" favorite.
