Publisher Description

A chance meeting in Rio takes Maria to Geneva, where she dreams of finding fame and fortune, yet ends up working the streets as a prostitute. In Geneva, Maria drifts further and further away from love while at the same time developing a fascination with sex.

Eventually, Maria's despairing view of love is put to the test when she meets a handsome young painter. In this odyssey of self-discovery, Maria has to choose between pursuing a path of darkness, 'sexual pleasure for its own sake', or risking everything to find her own 'inner light' and the possibility of sacred sex, sex in the context of love.

A daring modern fable about the nature of love and sex.

    " A great book, thoroughly enthralling, but slightly disappointed with ending & think it could glamourise prostitution, which to many (I believe) is a pretty desperate way to earn money, think the book could have explored this aspect a bit more. "

    " Wouldn't it be nice if prostitutes were well adjusted individuals doing a job they really love.... Dream on Paul Coehlo, your fantasies are destructive because you want to believe, and by writing about give power to, simplistic truths which are not part of our reality. "
