I just finished reading a great C.S Lewis book "Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold". It is a wonderfully written retelling of the Greek myth of Cupid and Psyche.
Even though C.S Lewis used pagan images the story has deeply Christian overtones.
The book wrestles with several important issues, faith vs reason, the problem of pain, sin and much much more. It is a deep philosophical work as well as a great story.
I will not go into details about the plot because that would spoil it for all of you who want to read it. It basically is about three sisters and is told from the
point of view of Orual the eldest. Her youngest sister Psyche possesses great beauty and that beauty makes the gods jealous, to the point that Psyche has to be sacrificed
to the gods. Orual loves Psyche deeply and the sacrifice makes her feel as if the gods have stolen all the joy from her life. The book is Orual's complain against
the gods. There is lots more in there but I will not reveal anymore.
I highly recommend this book.
