Brida, a young Irish girl, has long been interested in various aspects of magic but is searching for something more. Her search leads her to people of great wisdom. She meets a wise man who dwells in a forest, who teaches her to trust in the goodness of the world, and a woman who teaches her how to dance to the music of the world.

Summary: Really boring
Comment: If you liked The Alchemist, don't read this. It will deflate whatever magical feelings The Alchemist stirred up.

It was so dull that after 15 pages I started reading every other page, after 30 I read every third page. After 40 pages I skipped to the LAST five pages of the book but got so bored I had to settle for reading the final paragraph.

Bear in mind that The Alchemist is one of my favorite books of all time.

Summary: Brida
Comment: Es una maravillosa lectura que te lleva a conocer el mundo mas alla del que podemos ver. Lo espirtual se une con lo carnal. Recomiendo su lectura a aquellos que desean vijar por lo desconocido, a aquellos que se atreven a cruzar el puente.

Summary: Practical fiction
Comment: Loved it. Search for soul mate was the keyword I was driven to purchase this piece of art, and indeed it has not let me down, as it had been with the author's other books. Although the path is depicted as fictious in a sense that the story is not tangent to solid reality but somewhere between that and the world of witches and magics, the search is filled with practical wisdom. It gives the reader, deep inside his heart, a strange "yeah I know that" kind of sympathy with Brida the heroine. This book personally gave me courage to let go of myself and surrender to God.
