Last week I read a Novel, Eleven minutes by Paulo Coelho. It is the story of Maria, a young girl from a Brazilian village, whose first innocent brushes with love leaves her heartbroken.
In Rio she makes the ill-advised judgment to leave Rio on a stranger's promise of fame and fortun which takes her to Geneva... Instead, she ends up working as a prostitute.
At a tender age, she becomes persuaded that she will never find true love, and believing that "Love is a terrible thing that will make you suffer."
Later she meets a young painter and her unalike view of love is put up to the test. Lately she realizes her mistake and her one decision has taken her to the path of darkness.
This novel sensitively explores the nature of sex, and readers also can explore the potentially consecrated nature of sex within the context of love and life. Feelings are our creation and should be controlled by us or else it will embrace us.
Coelho narrates the story in striking and simple way giving us every detail of what he wanted us to know. His ability creates a character who grabs our sympathy every time we read his books are something unique and should be appreciated.
Coelho's Eleven minutes is surely going to be on my Favourite books list.
