“One of Coelho’s strongest.”—Kirkus Reviews

“The book casts a curiously sweet spell.”—Entertainment Weekly

From the author of beloved international bestseller The Alchemist, a daring novel that explores the sacred nature of sex and love and invites us to confront our own prejudices and demons.

In Geneva, Maria’s despairing view of love is put to the test when she meets a handsome young painter. In this
