Which C.S. Lewis novel features the protagonist Orual?

Till We Have Faces features Orual as its protagonist.

Published in 1956, the novel retells the myth of Cupid and Psyche from the perspective of Orual, the eldest daughter of the king of Glome. Orual becomes queen and narrates a long complaint against the gods, especially the god associated with the story’s central mystery.

Lewis described the book as a retelling of an ancient myth, but it is not a simple reproduction of the classical tale. The novel explores jealousy, possessive love, self-knowledge, and the difficulty of seeing other people clearly.

Till We Have Faces was Lewis’s last completed novel. Its title comes from the idea that genuine understanding requires people to confront their own motives rather than hide behind accusations or roles.
