Publisher Description
New York Times Bestseller
From Paulo Coelho, the beloved author of The Alchemist, comes a luminous and mystical novel about the search for magic, meaning, and the other half of one's soul.
Brida follows a young Irish woman consumed by a hunger she cannot name — a longing for something deeper than ordinary life can offer.
Seeking answers, she finds two enigmatic teachers: the Magus, a solitary wise man at the edge of a forest, and Wicca, a powerful practitioner who initiates her into ancient spiritual traditions. As Brida's gifts awaken, she must also navigate the pull of two very different loves — and reckon with the possibility that becoming who she is meant to be will require choices that cannot be undone.
A quietly haunting and ultimately inspiring story, Brida reveals the secrets connecting vocation, desire, and the lifetimes it takes to finally become whole.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Growth, curiosity, and a dash of sorcery fill the pages of this bewitching tale from Brazilian novelist Paulo Coelho, author of the global bestseller The Alchemist. Brida is a young Irish woman who sets out to find her place in the world. When she travels into a forest near her village, she finds a pair of unexpected mentors: a sage witch and a wise recluse. The two aren’t exactly your typical life coaches, but they both recognize in Brida a gift—and with mystical rituals and ethereal guidance, they help the inexperienced girl overcome her fears and discover her true power. Coelho’s spellbinding tale of magical realism is packed full of important lessons about discovering and using your own special talents and learning to accept and even love your mental and physical imperfections. Brida is an enthralling story about finding your passion and purpose that acknowledges that the beginning of any spiritual journey can be ugly and painful.
