Pilar is a young Spaniard on the threshold of adult life when she receives a message from a childhood love, who has since become a man with spiritual gifts and a following. They spend a few days together near the French border, traveling to the village of Saint-Savin and the Pyrenees, and she must decide whether to let herself love him again. Paulo Coelho writes the story as a series of short, reflective passages. Their conversations circle around the idea of the feminine face of God, around the fear of loss, and around the risk of being happy.
It suits readers of spiritual fiction, especially those who enjoyed his other novels and want a love story with a religious edge.
Inward-looking; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Empathetic Explorer. Which reader are you?
