LEWIS

Flewett's family lived in Barnes, southwest London, where her father was the senior classics master at St Paul's school. She and her two sisters were evacuated from London to escape The Blitz. In the summer of 1943, at the age of 16, she moved in with the Lewises at their home The Kilns, as a house keeper. Her favourite writer was C.S.Lewis and initially she had no idea she was living with the same man. She developed what she later called a tremendous crush on him. She was highly regarded in the household and Lewis referred to her in a letter as without exception the most selfless person I have ever known.
