There is a quote from the New York Times on the back of the book that stay "Coelho is a novelist who writes in a universal language"...it couldn't be more true. In this story, he tells the story of Brida, a young Irish girl, who has always believed in magic, and her search leads her to two people of great wisdom. She is searching for her destiny, as we all are to some extent, and this follows her through love and self-doubt, as well of passion, and spirituality.
I love lately that the books I am drawn to are somewhat magical, or spirit searching, as these themes represent where I am right now - through stories such as Brida's, I feel encouraged and inspired and sane.
This is a beautiful novel.
