Eventually, Maria's despairing view of love is put to the test when she meets a handsome young painter.

So Realistic...

I have earlier read The Alchemist. So, I was expecting the same adventure by Paulo Coelho. But this book is completely different from The Alchemist. I read Eleven Minutes and found this book good. The story is about Maria who gets into prostitution being poor and needy. She urges for a better life with a true partner. She has been betrayed by her lover first, then she leaves her home. But al last. Gets nothing but beaomes a prostitute. She is struggling between love and sex. Maria’s character is very realistic in today’s world as we do come to know about these things. There are woman who are sold, deceived and compelled into prostitution. Hats off to him. He has written on a daring subject love and lust. Very well written that touches your heart.

I enjoyed this book thoroughly and found it very touching...
