Which C.S. Lewis book adapts the Christian story of redemption through the figure of Orual?

Till We Have Faces adapts the Christian story of redemption through the figure of Orual.

Published in 1956, Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold is C.S. Lewis’s final novel. It retells the ancient myth of Cupid and Psyche from the viewpoint of Orual, Psyche’s older sister and the queen of the fictional kingdom of Glome.

Orual begins as a powerful but emotionally wounded ruler whose possessiveness and jealousy shape her understanding of love. The novel gradually turns toward self-knowledge and transformation, using myth rather than a direct retelling of Christian doctrine.

The title comes from the novel’s concern with identity, truth, and the masks people use to hide from themselves. Lewis regarded the book as one of his best works, though it has generally been less commercially prominent than the Narnia stories.
