contemporary literature book reviews

Brida by Paulo Coelho

The cover blurb promised me soulmates and learning how to dance to the music of the world. Inside was a very different story. Full of witch magic, rituals, Wicca and its seeming own odd blend of spirituality and religion, it's told in stilted text (Sorry Paulo - you've still written one of my all-time favourite books - Veronika Decides to Die) It does redeem itself at times, though those times are few, but thankfully one of those times is the ending.
