By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept: A Novel of Forgiveness by Paulo Coelho
3.0
I really enjoyed the overall theme of this novel (letting go of your fears and living your life), and it was beautifully written. The characters were definitely interesting, and I really found myself caring about whether their love would work out or not.
This might not have been the best place for me to start my delving into Coelho's works. This was very steeped in Christianity and the Virgin Mary and it got a little overwhelming for me--I have very little interest in prayer and faith, so those parts wound up being pretty dull for me.
Still, I enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to trying some of his other works that I might appreciate more.
