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.

  • Very heartwarming read

    I’m such a sucker for Paulho’s ability to add subtle life lessons in his stories. To find out that her boyfriend, whom I also assumed was a lie, was actually real was shocking to me. But it made me realize that maybe I put too much pressure and anxiety into my relationship. That maybe I can just let it be. It always sounds too good to be true. Love is, is a sweet way of relaxing the mind when it comes to the distortions and pains that accompany love.

    I really wanted to like this book, and I stuck with it for 250 pages...but...man this is awful. I couldn’t connect to any of the characters and the storyline goes on and on and on and on preaching about the female/soul/spirit. Meh. Blah. Ugh.
  • Great Story!
