Description:
C. S. Lewis’s Till We Have Faces is a rich and deeply moving retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche, transformed into a profound exploration of love, loss, faith, and the human longing for truth. First published in 1956, it is widely considered Lewis’s most mature and emotionally complex novel.
Told from the perspective of Orual, the elder sister of Psyche and the queen of a barbaric kingdom, the story unfolds as a personal memoir and a passionate complaint against the gods. As Orual recounts the events of her life — her love for Psyche, her jealousy, and her struggle to understand the divine — she embarks on a journey of self-discovery that challenges everything she believes about justice, beauty, and the nature of love.
Blending myth, philosophy, and psychological insight, Till We Have Faces examines how our deepest truths are often hidden by pride, fear, and misunderstanding — and how only by confronting our true selves can we begin to hear the voice of the divine.
Profound, poetic, and haunting, Till We Have Faces stands apart as C. S. Lewis’s most personal and timeless work of fiction.
