This is my third read of Paulo Coelho. It’s a screenplay for a drama movie. Nicely put across novel. Liked it.

It ends just like Hollywood love story, and surely it keeps you on the edge of imagination. I won’t write the story as you may find book not so interesting after reading my review.

The plot, dialogues, settings, pace, style, narrative everything is amazing. Very interesting and engrossing read. The taboo topic has been dealt sensitively.
