Spiritual struggle in the guise of an ancient myth.
Avery S. - 4 years 3 months agoTill We Have Faces is a retelling of the Cupid and Psyche myth from the perspective of Psyche's sister, Orual. Taking place in a setting where the names are changed but the plot is similar, we journey with Orual as she struggles with faith and finding her true face. It does not demand a Christian perspective despite its authorship, but does bring into question what God means in a broader sense to each individual. More importantly, it confronts the issue of having to face yourself before placing blame on others, be they mortal or divine. I have read a number of Lewis's works, but this is the one I always go back to. This one was published the same year as the final Chronicles of Narnia book, and you can easily see how much the author matured as a writer and storyteller. Lewis himself considered this his best work. Once you read it, it is difficult not to see the author and his own spiritual journey in its lines.

Great Read
Angelica M. - 4 years 6 months agoThis book was recommended to me by an employee at Barnes and Noble. I love the Narnia series and was excited to read another one of CS Lewis books. Loved it! And of course I actually purchased at HPB :)

Thank you Lewis
Pickup C. - 5 years agoIn my mind, this is C.S. Lewis’ magnum opus. Do yourself a favor: read no reviews or synopses, and just dive in!
