Which C.S. Lewis book is his final completed novel?

Till We Have Faces is C.S. Lewis’s final completed novel. Published in 1956, it retells the ancient myth of Cupid and Psyche from the perspective of Psyche’s sister, Orual.

The novel is set in the fictional kingdom of Glome and explores love, jealousy, sacrifice, religious belief, and the difficulty of seeing oneself honestly. Lewis described it as a retelling of the myth, but its psychological depth and first-person voice distinguish it from a simple adaptation.

Lewis wrote the book with Joy Davidman, whose comments influenced its development. It was his last published work of fiction and is often regarded as one of his most sophisticated literary achievements.

Readers sometimes identify The Last Battle as Lewis’s final novel because it is the last volume in The Chronicles of Narnia by internal chronology and publication sequence. However, Till We Have Faces was published later than all seven Narnia books.
