Which C.S. Lewis book is set partly in the fictional land of Glome?

Till We Have Faces is set partly in the fictional land of Glome.

Published in 1956, Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold is Lewis’s last completed work of fiction. It retells the ancient myth of Cupid and Psyche through the perspective of Orual, a princess of Glome. The kingdom is presented as a pagan society ruled by a king, and the story examines jealousy, accusation, religious ritual, and the difficulty of seeing oneself honestly.

Unlike the Narnia books, the novel does not take place in a children’s fantasy world with familiar talking animals and magical travel. Its setting and psychological tone are darker and more explicitly connected to classical mythology. Lewis developed the story partly with the influence of his lifelong engagement with Greek literature.

The title refers to the idea that human beings often approach the gods without a true face—that is, without truthful self-knowledge. Readers sometimes identify the book only as a retelling of Cupid and Psyche, but Glome is its distinctive fictional setting and Orual is its narrator.
