This Lewis does, but the journey is painful, and full of personal introspection. This book is a book of Faith, but in order to get there, one has to cross the chasm of Doubt. You will find yourself identifying with Lewis' travails and, hopefully, when done you will find new joy and a renewed hope at the end of the journey. I usually warn someone not to read/listen to a book if one is depressed. In the end, he reconciles himself to fate and to Fate and Faith, but the journey is long, and the days of pain numerous. Lewis spares no feelings as he lashes out at this world and the Other World for taking the one woman in his life that had made a difference. I've both read and listened to this very fine if sad tome and in both media the hurt and pain that Lewis feels on the death of his beloved H comes through in spades.
