Eleven Minutes - Paulo Coelho



Maria is a prostitute. Maria is a woman. Maria is a human. Maria is living. 

This is a story about (believe it or not) love.

Maria flees home to look for adventure and the elusive and much yearned for success. It seems she is driven at first to appear successful to impress the folk back home.

The independence she gains in Switzerland makes her grow up and in the midst of a soulless life of three men a night, she meets her love.

Pain, freedom, love, necessity, ambition and sacrifice are all explored... Yet essentially it is about love. 

The caged bird is my favourite part. Freedom is the key - never try to change your love. He is who he is and that's why she loves him. 

Let him fly and watch him flourish and come back ❤❤❤ love this bit!!
