In My Dear Hemlock, author Tilly Dillehay reimagines C.S. Lewis ’ The Screwtape Letters for a female audience.
The book focuses on Madame Hoaxrot and her junior devil Hemlock as they tempt a young woman who has just become a Christian .
The novel’s moral lessons are most applicable to women.
While The Screwtape Letters is sometimes recommended to precocious teenagers, My Dear Hemlock is a book for adults.
Dillehay ’s discussion of the marriage bed is appropriate for readers who are old enough to marry.
For a Christian wife, sex shouldn’t be a chore, a bargaining chip, or a shame-inducing act.
