What is the name of C.S. Lewis's 1956 novel based on the Cupid and Psyche myth?

Till We Have Faces is C.S. Lewis’s 1956 novel based on the Cupid and Psyche myth.

The novel retells the ancient story through the viewpoint of Orual, a princess and later queen of the fictional kingdom of Glome. Instead of presenting the myth from Psyche’s perspective, Lewis explores jealousy, love, divine silence, and the difficulty of seeing oneself honestly.

Lewis considered Till We Have Faces one of his best works. It differs from the Narnia books because it is a psychologically complex adult novel, and its setting draws on a pagan world rather than modern England or the Christianized fantasy world of Narnia.

The title comes from the novel’s concern with identity and self-knowledge. It is sometimes confused with Lewis’s Ransom trilogy—Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength—but Till We Have Faces is a separate work, published in 1956.
