";Till we have faces we will never know the beauty of the soul";
I've grown up on C.S. Lewis – my dad was reading the Narnia books to my three-year-old self, and I was correcting a mispronounced word at age four – and I've always loved this author. I've read every fiction book he put out. Except one. My mom withheld Till We Have Faces for when I was "grown up"... Read full review »

C.S. Lewis is masterful at challenging the perceptions of his readers and offering them new...

Anger and Jealousy Can No More Bear to Lose Sight of Their Objects Than Love
‘Til We Have Faces’ is C.S. Lewis’ retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche. For those who may not remember, the myth (in dramatic abbreviation) is roughly thus: Psyche was an astonishingly beautiful woman, so beautiful that she provoked the jealousy and ire of Aphrodite... Read full review »

Six Stars

A life-changing work.
C. S. Lewis, mainly recognized for his Christian apologetics and the children's series "The Chronicles of Narnia," brings a new telling to an old myth in his work "Till We Have Faces." Although some who are familiar with the works of Lewis may be somewhat put off by the apparent lack of Christian... Read full review »
A very rare book
As far as I know, this book was out of print for a long time. Most people know CS Lewis through the Narnia books, the Perelandra Trilogy, and possibly the Screwtape letters.

Till We Have Faces
The unlovely Orual, eldest daughter of the King of Glome, becomes so consumed by her mingled love for and jealousy of her beautiful half-sister that she makes a complaint to the gods---and receives an answer she did not expect. This novel, possibly Lewis' best work and his personal favorite, is the compelling reworking of the myth of Cupid and Psyche. 313 pages, softcover from Harcourt.
