This is a book that I have loved for a long time.I read it again just last week-ish. It is a retelling of the story of Psyche and Cupid. It is about faith, love, growing up, the nature of beauty and ugliness, reality, holiness, science, sacredness, and most of all, it is about the atonement of Jesus Christ. It is not one of Lewis' popular novels. The symbols are slightly more buried than they are in the Chronicles of Narnia. It is, however, thoughtful, well-done, faith inspired, and inspiring.
"...For all I can tell, the only difference is that what many see we call a real thing, and what only one sees we call a dream. But things that many see may have no taste or moment in them at all, and things that are shown only to one may be spears and water-spouts of truth from the very depth of truth."
