By Karol Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II) translated by Boleslaw Taborski with Maureen O'Brien, Barbara Jefford, Nigel Hawthorne.
Written in the late 1950s, this is a dramatised meditation on marriage; an account of the marital fortunes of three interrelated couples across two generations. It is also about love, bereavement, breakdown and hope in marriage.

"It is a Christian Meditation but powerfully suggestive of the world as it is." (New Statesman)
"The message was to look beyond mere human existence, however joyful or painful, and relate it to God and eternity with humility." (Daily Telegraph).
