About the Book

Some romances are so good, they last a lifetime. Some are even better, and they last forever. Beyond this Earth Cristobel and Lewis find each other again on the cosmic tilt-a-whirl that lands them on a new world of art and beauty and opportunity. Amidst reunions, surprising new friendships, and renewed devotion to love and vocation, they learn that even in this kinder, gentler Purgatory they must still experience lessons about suffering, sacrifice, duty, and loss--and one final breathtaking epiphany.

Review :
An after-life vision for our times-compassionate, multi-cultural, and above all active. Mr Louis's characters do things in the next world, they don't just have things done to them. Between Such Distant Shores can stand with C.S. Lewis's Great Divorce as an alternative and optimistic prediction of the great mystery. -Prof. Tom Shippey, author of J. R. Tolkien: Author of the Century and Laughing Shall I Die: Lives and Deaths of the Great Vikings Building on a vast array of literary classics yet wearing its learning lightly, this engaging journey through the afterlife won't fail to entertain the reader even as it addresses some of the most profound issues of our time, or any time.--Prof. Karl Fugelso, Dante scholar and editor of Studies in Medievalism The reader of Between Such Distant Shores is treated to a thoughtful and beautiful journey through a world akin to Dante's Purgatory yet full of rich surprises and textures of its own. There is a universal appeal here and something for everyone in this landscape marked by a winning combination of the wondrous and familiar. Guided by interesting and thoughtful characters, this delightful passage is in truth a poignant celebration of art, family, friendship, hope and above all love.--Dr. William Hyland, Lecturer in Church History, University of St. Andrews A bittersweet tale that recounts the afterlife journey of two lovers reunited in a near perfect new world. Narrated through the eyes of a writer (Lewis) and an artist (Cristobel), the story introduces the reader to many memorable characters, who artfully reconcile regrets and strengthen bonds as they ponder abiding questions of time, love, infinity, free will, duty, and desire. Suffused with amusing and sobering literary or artistic allusions as well as topical or historical allegories, Between Such Distant Shores will engage the most astute reader. Even as the story unfolds, one can only hope there is a sequel in the making that will take us beyond these extraordinary distant shores. - Reni Gower Curator, Wylie Contemporary, Inc Professor Emerita, Virginia Commonwealth University This novel will most likely produce in readers an alternative sense of dislocation and familiarity, akin to but very different from Dante's experience in Purgatory, that realm of the afterlife most like life on earth. Especially interesting and often moving are the various responses of the characters to their (literally new) life in a world so similar to and yet so different from the one they left behind. This new world embraces them and allows them the freedom to fulfill their lifelong artistic, intellectual and emotional needs and dreams. - Christopher Kleinhenz, Professor Emeritus, University of Wisconsin-Madison
