LOVE this book. I listened to the audio version during my commute and found myself lingering in the car after getting home just so I could hear more! Paulo always does a fantastic job of weaving stories that integrate faith, spirituality (in all its forms), love, and meaning-finding. His words make me think more about finding my own purpose in life and the inter-connectedness of all life. As a Christian who believes people can come to God in any number of ways, his way of weaving together various faiths and beliefs-and respecting each of them-speaks to me deeply. All of that aside, Brida herself is a believeable and relatable character with issues both modern and magical. If you like getting a little existential with your fiction, I would definitely recommend this book!
