The new bestselling novel, now in paperback, from international literary phenomenon Paulo Coelho, author of The Alchemist. A chance meeting in Rio takes Maria to Geneva, where she dreams of finding fame and fortune, yet ends up working the streets as a prostitute. In Geneva, Maria drifts further and further away from love while at the same time developing a fascination with sex. Eventually, Maria's despairing view of love is put to the test when she meets a handsome young painter. In this odyssey of self-discovery, Maria has to choose between pursuing a path of darkness, 'sexual pleasure for its own sake', or risking everything to find her own 'inner light' and the possibility of sacred sex, sex in the context of love. A daring modern fable about the nature of love and sex.

Honesty, Bold & Strong

This story is about a girl who at the end finds the man who takes a dip in her soul, swims across and discovers the unfathomable depth of her being before touching her body. This book actually changes a lot of misguided perceptions we have towards a certain section of the society. This story is not for everyone, not about prostitution, but the adults should give it a try, this is that type of a story.

What a beautiful story. A girl from a little village with big goals and aspirations. She has spent her entire life looking for love. And the conclusion is both stunning and dramatic.

This is an incredible piece of work. I felt like I was traveling and getting lost somewhere during the reading hours. Philosophical, interesting, and enjoyable.
