Product Description:

How do we find the courage to always be true to ourselves—even if we are unsure of who we are?

That is the central question of international bestselling author Paulo Coelho's profound new work, The Witch of Portobello. It is the story of a mysterious woman named Athena, told by the many who knew her well—or hardly at all. Like The Alchemist, The Witch of Portobello is the kind of story that will transform the way readers think about love, passion, joy, and sacrifice.

I just finished reading my first Coelho novel, The Witch of Portabello..and am on Amazon to purchase more of his stories.

This was the book that I chose for my October book club (Witch..Halloween...get it?) and based on some of the reviews I thought it would be really interesting.

For example when Athena's teacher tells her that "...you said that you'd changed the behavior of the people in the bank where you worked because you'd taught them to dance. That isn't true. You changed everything because, through dance, you changed their reality. You believed in the story of the vertex, which, although I've never heard of it before seems to be an interesting one. ...

- Fantastic, spiritual, educational
This is one of the best books I have read. I have learned alot from it and I find it easy to apply those teachings to my life.

- Terrible! I'll never waste my time on another book by this author!
Unless you enjoy reading prose that could very well have been constructed by a student in middle school, stay away!
