This of course is intense and mature reading so I must comment that you read it at your own risk.
The book is called Till We Have Faces.
This is a picture of the cover:
Till We Have Faces is a myth about two princesses, Orual and Psyche, who live in the palace at Glome. Psyche is extremely beautiful and Orual is extremely ugly. However, Orual loves Psyche with a deep passion, vowing to always protect and care for her. Therefore, Orual does not take the news well when the god (this is a pre-Christian society) Cupid falls in love with Psyche. This myth is retold with C.S. Lewis's distinct voice in his literature and you can really feel Orual's pain.
I really suggest this book because it is written so well! Also, I offer another suggestion for C.S. Lewis's The Great Divorce. When the narrator of The Great Divorce decides to take a nap he is sweep into a life like nightmare that shows him the true meaning of Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory.
I hope you guys read them (Mia!!!) and if you do, I hope you like them!
I probably suggest more in the future and it would be great if I could get some suggested books!
