C.S. Lewis’ 1946 novel The Great Divorce depicts a journey from a drab, grey town, a symbolic representation of Hell, to a beautiful, vibrant countryside, symbolising Heaven. The journey is taken by bus, and the passengers are all ghosts, former inhabitants of the grey town. The journey is an allegory for the soul's journey to salvation; the ghosts represent different aspects of human nature, their interactions with the solid people from the countryside are allegorical encounters with spiritual truths.

We explore the nature of choice, the consequences of sin, and the nature of love and grace through this symbolic journey.
