Yesterday I read this fantastic (was it ?) book "Eleven Minutes" by Paulo Coelho - A surprize change from the Alchemist। I was told by many of my friends that "The Alchemist" was a terrific book. But when I read that last year, I didn't find it very interesting (it was not very different compared to many other self-help books, which in general I do not like).
In contrast "Eleven minutes" was a free flowing, easy read and a vivid story of a young girl coming to the luxurious city of Geneva from a very small distant town in Brasil (not the Brazil as per Maria) searching for the true love, fame and a meaningful life (which according to her was denied to her till that time)। This book peeps through the tender thoughts of maria who lived her life on the very edge of the society by choosing prostitution as her livelihood.
