What is the title of C.S. Lewis's 1942 myth-inspired novel about Orual?

Till We Have Faces is C.S. Lewis's 1942 myth-inspired novel about Orual.

The novel retells the ancient story of Cupid and Psyche from the viewpoint of Orual, Psyche's older sister. Published in 1956, it was Lewis's last work of fiction and is often considered one of his most complex and mature novels.

Set in the fictional kingdom of Glome, the book explores jealousy, love, religious faith, self-knowledge, and the difficulty of seeing oneself honestly. Orual becomes queen and writes a long complaint against the gods, which gives the novel its distinctive confessional form.

The title comes from the novel's concern with hidden identity and the need to acquire “faces” before genuine encounter is possible. It is not a direct retelling of the myth; Lewis changes the perspective, setting, and psychological emphasis substantially.
