Description

New York Times Bestseller

“In Brida, my third novel, which I wrote just after The Alchemist, I tell the story of a young woman who dives into sorcery and her experiences with different magical traditions. I explore many themes that are dear to me, such as the Great Mother, pagan religions, and the perceptions of love.”

-- Paulo Coelho

This is the spellbinding tale of Brida, a beautiful young Irish woman, and her quest for knowledge. On her journey, she meets a wise man who teaches her about overcoming her fears, and a woman who teaches her ancient rituals. They see in her a gift, but must let Brida make her own voyage of discovery.

    Definitely an eye opener read. Honestly Coelho does it again. If you ever want to have your eyes opened to the universe around you, then read any Coelho book you will not be disappointed. With Brida I felt like I was reading about myself. She reminded me so much of myself to the point where I felt like he knew me and wrote this book about me if I was an Irish woman in the 80s. Definitely a good read, just be prepared to question the world around you as you know it.
