Brida - Paulo Coelho

Once again Coelho pens a tale of spirituality and the quest for knowledge.

Perhaps what makes his work so intriguing, is that it always spiritual, but rarely "religious" in any kind of traditional sense. His characters are always learning and discovering their place in the world. Brida is no different in that respect.

Brida is in search of knowledge. Her search brings her to a lonely magus, and thus her journey begins. She learns to listen to the soul of the world, to dance to it's music. She learns of her gift, her history, and her soulmate, and what these mean in her world.

A beautiful and enchanting story.
