"By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept" by Paulo Coelho

Pilar,a young woman from the Spanish countryside, grows-up becoming a nice, strong independent person. Her childhood friend has become some more handsome, charismatic spiritual leader, making use of his religion as a refuge from his raging inner conflicts. He is said to be one who is even able to heal persons.
This lovely crafted story begins like a poetic narrative until Pilar is introduced to the gripping surprise of her lover having become a Seminarian. His whole life has been turned into an adventure shaped by his studies and new committment. When the italicised poetry becomes more narrative, the story moves more quickly and has numerous fascinating twists and turns. Their love simply moves gradually into new adventures and amzing new pictures of their live.

I can say that i really like this book,from the beginning and till the end.It gives you a lot of information to think about...
