Summary
Eventually, Maria's despairing view of love is put to the test when she meets a handsome young painter. In this odyssey of self-discovery, Maria has to choose between pursuing a path of darkness, 'sexual pleasure for its own sake', or risking everything to find her own 'inner light' and the possibility of sacred sex, sex in the context of love.
A daring modern fable about the nature of love and sex.

Good book. Bad choice on the reader.
I like Paulo Coelho a lot, but didn't like the reader of this book. Very think and pompous accent. He gave a sense of distance from the character. Perhaps if it would have been a woman... The story is very interesting from the main characters point of view about sex, sexuality and prostitution.

Beautiful Story
Beautiful story with deep, meaningful and important messages. One of Paulo Coelho's classics - a must read.

Interesting but unrealistic love story
I can see why the story is compared to a fairy tale. I prefer Veronica decides to die. The dark side the human experience isn't explored in this story leaving it a little unsatisfying. As always Coelho asks some thought provoking questions. This is a good read but not, in my opinion, his best work.

Great book!
The book is great. Listen to the sample first if you feel like you wouldn’t like the narrator— I personally liked it.

Cleverly crafted and very well read
Compelling tale which maintains good pace throughout. Very well read. I’m not a fiction reader but was convinced to try this. I’m glad I did!

I love the book but couldn't listen to it. I found the narrator sounded like he was reading to children

Comfort Zone Destroyed
This book is completely out of my comfort zone and a genre I have never tackled before. I read this on advice of a friend and absolutely loved it from cover to cover.
We need to understand each other more!

Read the book it’s better
The narrator was too monotone for this story...he lost all the emotion in this story. I think there should have been a female narrator.
