1: Brida
This novel is absolutely amazing my favorite from Coelho's. It makes you think more about life as all of his novels do. If you like to know about witchcraft and like love stories this fits perfectly.

2: Brida
Es una maravillosa lectura que te lleva a conocer el mundo mas alla del que podemos ver. Lo espirtual se une con lo carnal. Recomiendo su lectura a aquellos que desean vijar por lo desconocido, a aquellos que se atreven a cruzar el puente.

3: Practical fiction
Loved it. Search for soul mate was the keyword I was driven to purchase this piece of art, and indeed it has not let me down, as it had been with the author's other books. Although the path is depicted as fictious in a sense that the story is not tangent to solid reality but somewhere between that and the world of witches and magics, the search is filled with practical wisdom. It gives the reader, deep inside his heart, a strange "yeah I know that" kind of sympathy with Brida the heroine. This book personally gave me courage to let go of myself and surrender to God.

5: Strange, even for Coelho
To say at the begining, this novel is out there. Even for Coelho. There is no resolution in the way that could be traditionally called a resolution - a decision is made, one which (***Spoilers****) goes against the traditional romantic grain of writing when Brida chooses her boyfriend, who is in fact one of her Soul Mates, over the Magus, who has spent a lifetime banished to a forest in Ireland until he finds his Soul Mate, who can release him.
Brida is not so much a tale as a snapshot of the life of a girl seeking to become a witch through the Path of the Moon and its brief but life-altering encounter with a man of the Path of the Sun. It is feminist in the sense that a woman finds her own path. It is New Age only by virtue of the magick that is not so much magick but the ordinary exalted. It is many things, Brida, but it is not resolved. And for that reason I do not enjoy it as much as Coelho's other books, giving it a 4 of 5.
