      There was nothing new or innovative about it, just another book about sex. At the end, although there was really no particular reason that she needed to return to Brazil, I was hoping she would, just so the ending wouldn't be so predictable. It was a trite movie-type ending, where the guy finds her at the airport and convinces her to stay. . . Overall, not up to Coelho standards.

Book Description

Una novela cautivante y audaz del autor de El Alquimista, bestseller con un millón de ejemplares vendidos. En este nuevo relato, el novelista explora con gran sensibilidad la naturaleza sagrada del sexo y del amor y nos invita a enfrentar a nuestros propio prejuicios y demonios.

Once Minutos relata la historia de María, una joven proveniente de una villa brasileña, cuyos primeros roces inocentes con el amor la dejan con el corazón destrozado. A su tierna edad, se convence de que jamás hallará el amor verdadero; al contrario, considera que "El amor es algo horrible que produce sufrimiento." Un encuentro casual en Río la lleva a Ginebra, donde sueña con conseguir fama y fortuna. Sin embargo, termina trabajando de prostitua.

En Ginebra, la opinión desesperanzada que María tieme del amor, se pone a prueba al conocer a un apuesto joven pintor. En esta odisea de descubrimiento personal, María debe elegir entre recorrer el camino de la oscuridad, el del sexo por el sexo mismo o arriesgarlo todo para descubrir su propia "luz interior" y las posibilidad del sexo sagrado, es decir, del sexo en el contexto del amor.
