A Mother-Loving Book from Coelho

There's a new book coming from Paulo Coelho, author of the international bestsellers The Alchemist and The Witch of Portobello. Brida--written in 1990, but only now available in translation--is the story "a young Irish girl and her quest for knowledge." A posting on Coelho's own blog hints at his larger subject: "the Great Mother and the pagan religions."

Brida will be published June 24. You can get a small preview of the book on www.paulocoelhoblog.com, where several short quotes from the book are posted.--David E
