Learn moreC. S. Lewis reworks the timeless myth of Cupid and Psyche into an enduring piece of contemporary fiction in this novel about the struggle between sacred and profane love. Set in the pre-Christian world of Glome on the outskirts of Greek civilization, it is a tale of two princesses: the beautiful Psyche, who is loved by the god of love himself, and Orual, Psycheโs unattractive and embittered older sister who loves Psyche with a destructive possessiveness. Her frustration and jealousy over Psycheโs fate sets Orual on the troubled path of self-discovery. Lewisโ last work of fiction, this is often considered his best by critics.
Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics The Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and have been transformed into three major motion pictures.

Reviews
โWhenever [Wanda McCaddon] reads, a sensation of comfort creeps into the atmosphere. Her vocal clarity and understanding of the authorโs meaning bring pleasure and even security to the listening of each work.โ
โ[McCaddonโs] reading is well paced, her voice light, soft, or strained as the action waxes and wanes.โ
“Exerts, far beyond most novels, that combination of…wonder and attraction.”
“The most significant and triumphant work that Lewis has…produced.”
“In Mr. Lewis’ sensitive hands the ancient myth retains its fascination while being endowed with new meanings, new depths, new terrors.”
