And yes, I second (or third): you should read 'Till We Have Faces if you haven't. SOOOOO good. I don't think the stories feed each other, because Cupid & Psyche are Greek myths and the east-of-the-sun fable is Scandinavian, but you know what Joseph Campbell would say about that! ?

And every child born in our family, Eugenia explained to me, is given a name that begins with the first letter of their birth direction. So a north-facing baby might be called Nathaniel; a southwest-facing child, Sarah Wilhelmina; and so on. I myself was an east-facing baby.
Eugenia began our family with northeast, Nils Erlend. Her reasoning was that she would tackle the most difficult direction first, when she was youngest and most vigorous; and the next most difficult (Neddy Wilfrid) at the end, when she was at her wisest and most experienced as a parent.
There is no pain deeper than that of a parent losing a child, but there were still six children who needed our care, and slowly, time healed the sharpest of our grief. Yet even as it did, the empty space at the east point of the compass began to gnaw at Eugenia.
