Praise for Till We Have Faces: A Reading Companion
Till We Have Faces is one of Lewis’s richest books, but also one of his most challenging. Christine Norvell does readers a great service by offering what is essentially a college course on the novel between two covers. Well researched and smoothly written, Norvell’s study guide offers valuable insights in every chapter and encourages readers to actively participate in the act of informed interpretation.” —Dr. David C. Downing, Co-Director of the Marion E. Wade Center at Wheaton College and author of five books on C. S. Lewis, including the novel Looking for the King |
A marvelous guide to a rich read..." Norvell's guide discusses and untangles many of the enigmatic aspects of this magnificent novel. Norvell herself 'lifts the veil' on one of Lewis's best, but most cryptic, works and illustrates the holy purpose beneath the fictional text.” |
Norvell’s steady steering … gave me such a richer, more complete understanding for the original work.”
★★★★★
