The Witch Of Portobello

The Witch of Portobello is the story of a mysterious woman named Athena, told by the many who knew her well—or hardly at all. It`s about a woman born in Transylvania to a Romani mother, who is orphaned and later adopted by a wealthy Lebanese.
Athena's great problem was that she was a woman of the twenty-second century living in the twenty-first, and making no secret of the fact, either. The Witch of Portobello is the kind of story that will transform the way readers think about love, passion, joy, and sacrifice
. Most any authors have the ability to create a snapshot of a person; but Paulo Coelho has created a masterpiece with his newest novel The Witch of Portobello. Athena is at once the most believable and most unreal character I have ever met: her story is one of love, and it is a story that urges everyone to 'Just love'. Paulo Coelho takes us on a most inspiring adventure, in his newest novel The Witch of Portobello, to discover Athena, an amazing woman. Coelho takes us along on Athena's search for love, acceptance, protection and ultimately herself. Along this journey we discover many extraordinary characters who lead us to a unique understanding of a young woman's physical and spiritual journey that not only engages the reader but also encourages us to 'just be different'. I absolutely loved the new novel by Paulo Coelho, The Witch of Portobello. Through the accounts of those who knew her best, Coelho shows us the most beautiful portrait of a young woman, Athena, in search for love, acceptance, protection and ultimately herself. Along the way readers are encouraged to 'just be different' and to realize that 'love just is'. This book truly is a wonderful work of fiction that has the potential to change the world."
