By the River Piedra, I Sat Down and Wept

I enjoyed this novel by the author of the best-seller Alchemist. In this novel, Paulo Coelho tells us the story of a young coverwoman who leaves her town to explore the world with a childhood friend, and to solve her inner conflicts. During the journey, Pillar finds answers to the big questions of life, love and beliefs.

As a Muslim, I did not quite understand the religious side of the story. However, the other aspects of the story related to relationships were much more meaningful to me.
