About Till We Have Faces
Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold is a 1956 novel by C. S. Lewis. It is a retelling of Cupid and Psyche, based on the version in The Golden Ass by Apuleius. The myth had haunted Lewis all his life, because he believed that some of the main characters' actions were illogical. As a consequence, he chose to retell the story from the perspective of Psyche's elder sister, a highly developed character, drawing the reader into her reasoning and emotions. This was his last novel, and he considered it his most mature, written in conjunction with his wife, Joy Davidman.
