A Orillas del Rio Piedra Me Sente Y Llore = By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept - Paulo Coelho

An international bestseller, this mystical, romantic adventure is set in the Pyrenees. A woman and her lover learn the secrets of life and love, suffering and healing through spiritual communion. \n \nFrom Paulo Coelho, author of the international bestseller The Alchemist, comes a poignant, richly poetic story that reflects the depth of love and life. \n \nRarely does adolescent love reach its full potential, but what happens when two young lovers reunite after eleven years? Time has transformed Pilar into a strong and independent woman, while her devoted childhood friend has grown into a handsome and charismatic spiritual leader. She has learned well how to bury her feelings . . . and he has turned to religion as a refuge from his raging inner conflicts.\n \nNow they are together once again, embarking on a journey fraught with difficulties, as long-buried demons of blame and resentment resurface after more than a decade. But in a small village in the French Pyrenees, by the waters of the River Piedra, a most special relationship will be reexamined in the dazzling light of some of life's biggest questions.\n
