Till We Have Faces, by C.S. Lewis

4.0

I listened to this one on my iPod, and I have to admit I had to listen to Book 2 a second time because I didn't quite understand what had just happened. This is an interesting story, definitely one that requires some thought and (in my case) research. It's certainly different from anything else of C.S. Lewis's that I have read before. It is a retelling of the mythological story of Cupid and Psyche. It is an excellent exploration of the relationship between God(s) and man. Lewis discusses the selfish nature of human love, the concept of justice, self-deception, and the complexity of flawed human nature. Many of the books I read leave no trace once I'm finished, but I'm still thinking about this one a few days after finishing it.
