Synopsis
C.S. Lewis once described Till We Have Faces as his best work. It is a retelling of the Psyche myth with a subtle Christian bent. One of my professors, Dr. Jim Hand, once posed the question, "Is Psyche a case of spirit becoming flesh, or flesh becoming spirit?" It is a great novel with much depth.
