the journey of self discovery from the road less travelled

A great read ... & it just started

Have you ever read books by Coelho? I read his 1st book (quite belatedly) but after that, I always kept reading his other works. This man is a genius when it comes to human emotions ... it's quite amazing that he can immerse himself into a character with so much emotion, sharing with us their journey with effortless appeal ... and this one which I want to share with you a indeed a masterpeice which I relate to ... very much.

So, here the story of a girl (who cried the river & drowned the whole world???? ok ok .. nonsensical) ... who after half a lifetime, met again with a childhood friend who took her for a journey of discovery & spirituality ... and ultimately, a love unearthed through this path. Still reading it but at a slow pace, to savour the art of Coelho's words ...

"By the River Piedra, I sat down & wept" ... I endorse :)
