BOOK REVIEW:THE WITCH OF PORTOBELLO

NAME OF THE BOOK:The Witch of Portobello
NAME OF THE AUTHOR:Paulo Coelho
YEAR OF PUBLICATION:2007
GENRE:Fiction
PLOT:This book follows the life of Athena,originally named Sherine Khalil,her learnings and teachings of who she really is and The MOTHER,not her birth or adopted mother but the Mother you come to know once you read the book,her spirituality and her death.

               "Starting from the cover,it is such a pretty cover and at the beginning itself it is mentioned that instead of putting it like a biography,Athena's life events were described from different people's perspective.That style of writing was really good and it really helps the story to move in a flow.The writing style in this book ended up more in the philosophical side,So you'll really enjoy the book if you love reading philosophical writings.I felt like that is because i took more time to complete the work and it totally worth it.
                The character of Athena and her beliefs and practices were well written.We get to know about her every phase of life,Birth,Adoption,Marriage,Motherhood,Learner,Teacher,Leader till her death and the best thing about the book is that every page would have something to teach you or make you think about something you could've never thought .Seriously,every word in this book is a gem,for example,the answer given by Athena to the question, What is Happiness will make you question what you thought of happiness all your lives and after you finished reading this book,you would definitely love to Reread this book again♥️"
               "Everything,absolutely everything on this earth makes sense,and even the smallest things are worthy of our consideration.."

RATING:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
RECOMMEND:Definite yes,if you've already read Paulo Coelho and enjoy his Philosophical writing style.
    If you are going to read this, be ready with your highlighters and sticky notes...you'll need them a lot!
QOTD:According to you,What is Happiness?
We recommend your rating 😀
