Which C.S. Lewis novel is set largely in the fictional world of Glome?

Till We Have Faces is set largely in the fictional kingdom of Glome. C.S. Lewis published the novel in 1956 and subtitled it A Myth Retold.

The story retells the myth of Cupid and Psyche from the perspective of Orual, a princess of Glome. Instead of following the familiar myth’s divine viewpoint, Lewis gives the narrative to a human character whose jealousy, grief, and accusations shape the reader’s understanding.

Glome is an invented kingdom influenced by the atmosphere of the ancient world. The novel’s geography and political setting support its exploration of love, self-knowledge, worship, and the difficulty of seeing one’s own motives clearly.

Till We Have Faces is sometimes mistaken for a Narnia novel because it is also fantasy. It is a standalone adult novel, however, with no setting in Narnia. It was Lewis’s last published novel and is often regarded as one of his most psychologically complex works.
