This small book packs a lot behind it. This book is a psychological study of good vs evil, of life in a small dying town, and a thriller to boot. Chantal Prym is on of the youngest people left in the town of Viscos. Her friends and peers have all left, her close relatives all deceased. She feels t...
I was hesitant to start this because so many people have found his book, The Alchemist to be life-changing, and I thought it was a beautifully written metaphor, but never quite understood all of the hoopla.
