5.0 out of 5 stars
Face to Face, April 11 2011
By Terri J. Rice "ricepaper" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Timeless at Heart (Hardcover)
I have read C.S.Lewis's many book but this is by far his best.Lewis weaves a tale of the Greek characters, Cupid and Psyche, through the eyes of Orual, Psyche's older half-sister.
Orual is not attractive. Psyche is beautiful. Orual becomes Pysche's surrogate mother when Psyche's mother dies. Orual's love for Pyche, at first, seems beautiful and selfless. Slowly through the telling of her story, the reader begins to see that Orual's love for Psyche is ugly and selfish. Orual is obsessed with the need to love. She is obsessed with the need to be Pysche's all. It is this self-pitying, selfish love that C.S. Lewis carefully and fully extracts from Orual until we are finally face to face with her ugly reality.
Til We Have Faces is Orual's bitter quest to get answers from the gods for unjustly taking Psyche from her and giving Psyche to the God of the Mountain. Orual comes face to face with the truth that Psyche is happy and content to be sacrificed to the God of the Mountain. Orual has to face the sad truth that she is not Psyche's all.
The second part of this book is Orual's reckoning and reconciling.
This book is good on so many levels.

I ordered my book back in March and have yet to receive it. I also sent a message to the seller about the problem and have not received a reply either.
Listmania!
