Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold by CS Lewis [REVIEW]

SYNOPSIS

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

REVIEW

The faith message is strong. The importance of maintaining good relationships is evident. However, I’m saddened that this story could hold my interest for more than a few pages at a time.
