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.
Customer Reviews
Good, but not the best Coelho
This read like a fable of sorts to me, and was not my favorite story or style from Coelho. It he's always good to read, and thought provoking, in this case what exists within each of us, and that we always have choices.
Great Read
This was a very enjoyable novel that kept me engaged from beginning to end!
Depends
I’m sure a lot of people like this book but I found it boring
