Welcome back to the show! If you have ever wanted to read the classics but felt intimidated by where to start, you are in the right place.

I’m your host, Angelica Cable, a homeschool mom of 3 with a deep passion for literature. Today, I’m sitting down with Adalyn (15) and my daughter Esther (14) to crack open the first two chapters of C.S. Lewis’s self-proclaimed masterpiece, Till We Have Faces.

In This Episode

I believe that talking about great books is the secret to truly falling in love with them. In this episode, we don't just summarize the plot; we start tracking the heavy themes in this psychological novel—from the tension of the divine to the complexities of the human ego.

Why Listen?

Till We Have Faces is a book that demands to be read deeply, and it’s much better to do it together. After this conversation, I couldn't wait to keep reading to see how C.S. Lewis addresses the issues he brings up right at the get-go.

Whether you are reading along with us or just looking for a bit of wisdom, this episode is your invitation to join the conversation. It only gets better from here!
