"Jack" Lewis, a respected Oxford professor of literature, lives a solitary existence as a middle-aged bachelor. His writings have won the admiration of Joy Gresham, an American poet recovering from a broken marriage, for whom Lewis is a paragon of literary brilliance and an inspiration. Though Lewis and Gresham have corresponded for years by mail, they never meet until Joy decides, on the spur of the moment, to take her son on a trip to England. Finally, she'll get an opportunity to meet the erudite scholar. Though their initial encounters are fettered by British upper-class social strictures and proper etiquette, Joy gradually breaks through Lewis's reserve, and the two develop a closeness that blooms into a joy-filled romance.
