I like it more than The Alchemist! Though it's a whole different genre, still it's about searching for the true existence of ourselves, right? It's been ages I haven't read a romance novel and to begin again with this book is the right decision. This story is so close to our life (depends on how you interpret it), but in my opinion, it is. The words are beautifully written, perfectly poetic.

I was wondering how a man could write in the perspective of a woman until I read the last sentence of the Afterword: I got that breathtaking, fulfilled feeling. Paulo is such a brilliant writer.
