Publisher Description

From bestselling author and international sensation Paulo Coelho, a novel set in a small village about a young, poor barmaid whose wager with the devil leads to a spiritual transformation.

A stranger arrives at the remote village of Viscos, carrying with him a backpack containing a notebook and eleven gold bars. He comes searching for the answer to a question that torments him: Are human beings, in essence, good or evil? In welcoming the mysterious foreigner, the whole village becomes an accomplice to his sophisticated plot, which will forever mark their lives.

A novel of temptation, The Devil and Miss Prym is a thought-provoking parable of a community devoured by greed, cowardice, and fear—as it struggles with the choice between good and evil.

"This was a quick read...but a thoughtful one.A stranger comes to town and makes an offer that seems to good to be true.To get the money she needs to live her life as she has always wanted, a young woman must decide if she can trust an entire town to make the right decision. Very good read about temptation and the nature of man. I recommend it!"

Quotes

  • “Only someone Jesuit-trained could bring to Scripture the kind of coolly passionate imagination on display in Coelho’s latest novel.” 

    — Philadelphia Inquirer 
  • “A suspenseful fable…Satisfying.” 

    — Milwaukee Journal Sentinel 
  • “Linda Emond’s effective reading is lightly characterized. This self-effacing, low-key performance accords with the fable-like quality of the novel and makes Coelho’s morality tale personal and absorbing.”
