Pilar trifft auf ihren Jugendfreund, der inzwischen die Gabe besitzt, andere zu heilen. In seiner Begleitung stellt Pilar ihr Leben in Frage, zieht sich aber doch zurück, als er ihr seine Liebe erklärt.
Pilar meets her childhood friend who has now the gift of curing others. She starts analyzing her life and so refuses to return his love.
From Paulo Coelho, author of the bestselling The Alchemist, comes a poignant, richly poetic story that reflects the depth of love and life.
Rarely does adolescent love reach its full potential, but what happens when two young lovers reunite after eleven years? Time has transformed Pilar into a strong and independent woman, while her devoted childhood friend has grown into a handsome and charismatic spiritual leader. She has learned well how to bury her feelings . . . and he has turned to religion as a refuge from his raging inner conflicts.
Now they are together once again, embarking on a journey fraught with difficulties, as long-buried demons of blame and resentment resurface after more than a decade. But in a small village in the French Pyrenees, by the waters of the River Piedra, a most special relationship will be reexamined in the dazzling light of some of life's biggest questions.
