    I love it when I come across a title that has valuable information and insight that applies to my life today. I found this just at the right time. Thanks Universe!

    25 May: I loved this book! This is one that will be on a shelf close, where I can reach it and be reminded of its valuable content. I am now reading The Alchemist online. Paulo Coelho has a Facebook page and provides you a link to read his book for free online. I still plan on buying a copy but I was eager to read more of his books!

From Paulo Coelho, author of the international bestseller The Alchemist, comes a poignant, richly poetic story that reflects the depth of love and life.

Rarely does adolescent love reach its full potential, but what happens when two young lovers reunite after eleven years? Time has transformed Pilar into a strong and independent woman, while her devoted childhood friend has grown into a handsome and charismatic spiritual leader. She has learned well how to bury her feelings . . . and he has turned to religion as a refuge from his raging inner conflicts.

Now they are together once again, embarking on a journey fraught with difficulties, as long-buried demons of blame and resentment resurface after more than a decade. But in a small village in the French Pyrenees, by the waters of the River Piedra, a most special relationship will be reexamined in the dazzling light of some of life's biggest questions.
