Which C.S. Lewis work retells the Cupid and Psyche myth through Orual?

Till We Have Faces retells the Cupid and Psyche myth through Orual. C.S. Lewis published the novel in 1956, and it was his final completed work of fiction.

The story is set in the fictional ancient kingdom of Glome. Orual, the eldest princess, narrates her life and her complicated relationship with her half-sister Psyche, whose beauty and devotion make her central to the novel’s religious and psychological themes.

Lewis drew on the classical story found in Apuleius’s Metamorphoses, but he substantially reshaped its viewpoint and setting. Instead of presenting the myth from an outside perspective, he makes Orual’s accusations and self-understanding the organizing force of the narrative.

The title points toward the novel’s concern with concealment, identity, and honest self-knowledge. It is sometimes mistaken for a Narnia book, but it is an adult mythic novel outside that series.
