By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept
Coelho’s lyrical tale follows Pilar, a young woman who reunites with her childhood sweetheart after years apart. As they journey through the French Pyrenees, Pilar grapples with love, faith, and her own spiritual awakening. The novel’s poetic prose and philosophical musings left me pondering life’s deeper questions long after I turned the final page. It’s a beautifully crafted story that speaks to the heart and soul, reminding us of the transformative power of love and self-discovery.
