Till We Have Faces

C. S. Lewis's novel reinvents the myth of Cupid and Psyche, exploring themes of sacred versus profane love in the pre-Christian world of Glome. It follows two princesses: the beautiful Psyche, favored by the god of love, and her older sister Orual, whose bitter jealousy and possessiveness lead her on a complex journey of self-discovery. Esteemed as Lewis's final work of fiction, this tale is often regarded as his finest by critics.
