I ordered the book for a Christmas present for my neice. I expected a shipping delay and was surprized when it arrived within three days(plenty of time before Christmas. My neice was thrilled with the book and the Amazon gift card that I added.
 
5 Star Rating  "Excellent Book - too bad it's been overlooked so long!"2009-12-14
- Reviewed By Home Schooling Mom
Read this with my 12y-o-daughter. We loved it!! We used the study guide/commentary offered by Veritas Press in their Omnibus curriculum which greatly facilitated our discussion and deepened our understanding of this excellent work by C.S. Lewis.
 
5 Star Rating  "One of the more profound psychological novels ever written."2009-10-30
- Reviewed By Gandalf the White
C.S. Lewis dives into the depths of the human psyche in this novel. As one reviewer has already noted, the tale has some undercurrent of the ancient myth of "Cupid and Psyche", but you don't need to be familiar with the myth to read the book.

The story centers around a central character Orual, and the meanderings of her life and mind as she deals with the realities of her tough world. Her father was ruthless king, an alcoholic and abusive upon young princess Orual. Her tutor, and old man considered the "Greek", schools her in the philosophy of essential naturalism and Greek classics, and tries to offer her advice along those lines. The main religion of the day in Orual's kingdom involves ritual sacrifice and praise to a god named Ungit, whom she wonders much about, as he seems not to care or intervene but merely requires bloody sacrifice. At one point in the story, her sister, born beautiful and captivating and much loved by Orual, is taken by force and sacrificed by the elders of the community to an unknown "god of the mountain" to try to stave off a plague of raining arrows. Orual seems to become hardened more and more as the story goes on because of these sorrowful events.

Through the story, we follow Orual from a first person perspective. We can see into her heart and mind as she considers what all of these events and people mean, and who really is "god of the mountain" or "Cupid" or whoever it is that took beautiful Psyche away from her. Who has subjected her to such a tough and loveless life of suffering, and why won't they speak to her? The answer, as it turns out, is not what one immediately thinks.

In order to grasp the significance of this novel, you cannot read bits and pieces nor can you merely read the ending and hope to understand. But, if you read it in its entirety, you may need to read the final chapter several times to understand what the story means. It certainly was the case for me. In a monumental instance of indirection, CS Lewis invites us into a personal "leap" in which we consider who we really are and why god is silent.

On a personal note, anyone who is an adult child of abuse, or who is sick of ritual religion, or who is unsatisfied with various natural philosophies, should seriously consider this work. I could not recommend it more for a person seriously interested in the meaning of life.

Would that we all knew who we really are!
 
5 Star Rating  "ONE OF HIS BEST FICTION BOOKS!"2009-09-20
- Reviewed By Fred W. Hood
UPON THE CHORE OF MOVING ALL OF OUR STUFF TO ANOTHER CITY....
I had the job of selecting the ones I will keep. When I came down to Till We Have Faces, I looked thru it till I realized that it was only one I had failed to read! So it will be my next read after unpacking!

I have enjoyed the first few reviews here printed! I believe I have More C.S. Lewis than any other Author! It seems that my favorite ones have been The Four Loves, The Seven Storey Mountain, The Asian Journal, New Seeds of Contemplation, CONTEMPLATIVE PRAYER, DIALOGUES WITH SILENCE! AS I RECALL BEING IN LOUISVILLE, I DROVE TO THE MONASTERY OF GETHSEMENE and I saw the little house in which he spent time in Solitude writing.

When I sat in the Choir for Morning Prayers, plus later in the day for other times of prayer, I realized the Power of Silence & Prayer connected to the litergy of Chants & Hymns! I surely returned to my Prison Chaplain's office with renewed Vigor!
