Which C.S. Lewis novel follows Orual, a queen in the land of Glome?

Till We Have Faces follows Orual, a queen in the fictional land of Glome. C.S. Lewis published the novel in 1956, making it his final completed work of fiction.

The novel retells the ancient myth of Cupid and Psyche from the perspective of Psyche’s older sister, here named Orual. Orual becomes queen after her father’s death and reflects on love, jealousy, power, faith, and the difficulty of seeing oneself honestly.

Lewis drew substantially on the classical story while giving the narrator a psychologically complex voice. The book differs from the Narnia novels because it is aimed at adults and uses a darker, more introspective setting.

Readers sometimes identify the work only as a retelling of Cupid and Psyche, but its specific title is Till We Have Faces. Lewis regarded it as one of his strongest literary achievements.
