The Witch Of Portobello

By Paulo Coelho

The story of a woman′s spiritual and sensual awakening ...

Who is Athena?

The orphan abandoned by her gypsy mother in Transylvania. The child taken to Beirut by her adoptive parents. The clerk working in a bank in London. The successful real estate agent in Dubai. The priestess of Portobello Road ...

This is the chronicle of Athena′s life‚ told by the people 
who knew her: her adoptive mother‚ a journalist researching vampirism‚ a priestess‚ a calligraphy teacher and an actress. Each illustrates a different facet of Athena′s character‚ describing what they saw and experienced as well as 
sharing their own impressions‚ beliefs and anxieties.

Like The Alchemist‚ The Witch of Portobello transforms the way we think about love‚ passion‚ joy‚ and sacrifice: how do we find the courage to always be true to ourselves‚ even if 
we are unsure who we are?
