Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis


This is a gripping story that is hard to put down. C. S. Lewis takes the well-known Greek myth about Cupid and Psyche and re-tells it from the vantage point of Orual, Psyche's sister.
It spurs thoughts on beauty, love, and heaven. What is beauty and how do I define it? When I show love is it coming from a self-seeking place? If I really knew what heaven was, would I covet the things of this earth so much?
I would recommend this book.

I like how Lewis could take a difficult issue and use a simple analogy to simplify it.
