Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold

FROM SARAH:

"Holy places are dark places," writes Lewis in this incredible retelling of a classic Greek myth. I'd recommend it for readers 15 and up, perfect for lingering conversations around faith, envy, and the search for truth.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Haunted by the myth of Cupid and Psyche throughout his life, C.S. Lewis wrote this, his last, extraordinary novel, to retell their story through the gaze of Psyche’s sister, Orual. Disfigured and embittered, Orual loves her younger sister to a fault and suffers deeply when she is sent away to Cupid, the God of the Mountain. Psyche is forbidden to look upon the god’s face, but is persuaded by her sister to do so; she is banished for her betrayal. Orual is left alone to grow in power but never in love, to wonder at the silence of the gods. Only at the end of her life, in visions of her lost beloved sister, will she hear an answer.
