By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept - Paulo Coelho

Since the US publication of The Alchemist over three years ago, Paulo Coelho has emerged as one the most beloved storytellers of our time. Coelho offers a magical blend of compelling action, exotic settings, moving characters, and soulful insight - all told with the mystery and spirit that have become his trademark.

Coelho presents the poignant, deeply spiritual tale of Pilar, an independent and practical yet restless young woman, whose life is forever changed by an encounter with a childhood friend. Now a mesmerizing and handsome seminarian - and rumoured miracle worker - he leads her on a journey through the Fench Pyrenees.
