Vikki Salmela _d23d — *A Myth Retold* This timeless tale of two princesses; one beautiful and one unattractive and of the struggle between sacred and profane love is C. S. Lewis's reworking of the classical myth of Cupid and Psyche and one of his most enduring pieces of fiction. This book was "fascinating" in it's own special way. And yet I also found it... confusing... at times. The story takes place in Glome and is written by Orual, the eldest daughter of Trom, the King. She is Psyche's embittered and ugly older sister and possessively and harmfully loves Psyche. In a way it's her personal biography... Her life was sad, hard, and confusing. I felt she was lost in so many different ways. She (and the others in the land) worshiped and revered these gods who seemed cruel and barbaric at times. The people were bound up in senseless traditions and rituals. The whole world there was such a sad, pitiful existence. The struggles between sacred and profane love are illuminated as Orual learns that we cannot understand the intent of the gods "till we have faces" and sincerity in our souls and selves. I could identify with Orual on several different levels... I used to be far more selfish and concerned with myself to the point that I was unaware of the sufferings and hurts of those around me. And how I was causing them grief.... After reading another person's review, I feel I understand the underlying message better now and might want to read this book again to really grasp it. I had read it in such short spurts here and there that I really didn't understand it all to the point I should have. (I feel so dense!) Overall, it was an interesting book... a journey I had never experienced before.

Edouard Favrot efavrot — I'm happy I read this. I liked some of it very much. To a spelling nerd, it was an interesting, easy read, pulling one along. Then it seemed to get sensationalistic and implausible--and usually I'm happy enough to suspend disbelief. The ending didn't work for me either; it didn't seem very enlightened--though I think it was supposed to.
