Review: TILL WE HAVE FACES by CS Lewis

This was CS Lewis' favorite of his books, and one of his last. It's a retelling of the myth of Eros and Psyche, told from the point of view of a sister of Psyche.

There has been a good deal of backlash against this book from Christians, mostly because it's a pagan myth by an ostensibly Christian author. Some have even taken this as proof that he wasn't really a Christian at all. The simple fact is that none of knows what was in Lewis' heart and mind when he wrote this, so we're not fit to judge his motives.

It's undeniably well-written, and though the story and its protagonist are emphatically not Christian, Lewis has earned my trust, and I recommend this book.
