Harcourt Books, 1984, softcover, 314 pages, condition: very good.

This tale of two princesses - one beautiful and one unattractive - and of the struggle between sacred and profane love is Lewiss reworking of the myth of Cupid and Psyche and one of his most enduring works.

One of the lesser known of Lewis' works, this is a masterful retelling of the mythological story of Cupid and Psyche that paints a vivid picture of how selfish humanly love is, and to what extent we will go to protect it. The narrative serves to humble the reader as the heroine of the novel transforms from the pitiable victim to the chief antagonist, and at the same time we realize that we are her, always pondering on the wrongs done to us and the shortcomings we experience. It's an excellent novel that speaks to how we, as humans, tend to see our own plight in life as the most dire, and perceive others as being part of our plight or calloused to our plight. Yet, in the end, we are most likely the villains in a myriad of others' stories as much as the tragic hero of our own. A great reminder that whatever my circumstances, I am in thousands of stories other than my own, and only I can choose the color of my character!
