By the river Piedra I sat down and wept

This is a book by the famous author Paulo Coelho, in this book he has brought out the relationship between two people in a beautiful way. In this book he has given an insight into the devotion to the Goddess that is the Virgin Mary and it's lost prominence over the years.

The story revolves around the love of two childhood sweethearts who are meeting after many years. The story through Pilar shows how a little faith can help people find themselves when they are lost in their ways in life.

The style of writing by Coelho is not liked by many I too have only liked only two of his books from his collection so far one is 'By the river Piedra I sat down and wept' and the other is 'The Alchemist'.
