Description

A repackaged edition of the revered writer’s retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche—what he and plenty of others regard as his best novel.

C. S. Lewis—the great British author, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and bestselling writer of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and plenty of other beloved classics—brilliantly reimagines the story of Cupid and Psyche. Told from the standpoint of Psyche’s sister, Orual, Till We Have Faces is a great 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 better power in our lives.

At yet again human and more mythic than his Perelandra trilogy, Lewis’s short novel of love, faith, and transformation (both good and sick) offers the reader much food for thought in a compact, impressively wealthy story. Less heavy-handedly Christian-allegorical than Narnia, Till We Have Faces gives us characters who remind us of people we know facing choices and difficulties we recognize. This deceptively simple book takes on new depth with each and every rereading.
