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.

    Definitely an eye opener read. Honestly Coelho does it again. If you ever want to have your eyes opened to the universe around you, then read any Coelho book you will not be disappointed. With Brida I felt like I was reading about myself. She reminded me so much of myself to the point where I felt like he knew me and wrote this book about me if I was an Irish woman in the 80s. Definitely a good read, just be prepared to question the world around you as you know it.
