Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold

Description

A repackaged edition of the revered author's retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche--what he and many others regard as his best novel.

C. S. Lewis--the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and bestselling author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics--brilliantly reimagines the story of Cupid and Psyche. Told from the viewpoint of Psyche's sister, Orual, Till We Have Faces is a brilliant examination of envy, betrayal, loss, blame, grief, guilt, and conversion. In this, his final--and most mature and masterful--novel, Lewis reminds us of our own fallibility and the role of a higher power in our lives.

I’d first like to thank my friend, Jack, for sending me this book years ago. Til We Have Faces is a story about one beautiful princess (Psyche) and one unattractive princess (Orual). Psyche is loved by Cupid (god of love). 2.5 stars.

I’m not familiar with Greek myths or this story at all, so I went into it completely blind. Since this book is a classic, a myth, AND a retelling, it was very out of my comfort zone. I did enjoy the perspective the st...read more
