Till We Have Faces
313 pages · First published 1956
Orual, the eldest princess of Glome, grows up loving her beautiful half-sister Psyche with a devotion that gradually reveals possessiveness as well as affection. When Psyche is offered as a sacrifice to a mysterious god, Orual’s attempt to rescue her becomes the central wound around which she builds a lifelong accusation against the gods. Years later, as queen, she writes her complaint and discovers that telling the whole truth about her grievance changes its meaning. C. S. Lewis retells the myth of Cupid and Psyche as a psychologically rich novel about love, jealousy, self-deception, suffering, and the difficulty of seeing either the gods or ourselves without a veil.
