Coelho makes it clear in his introduction to this book that it doesn't make you dream unlike his other books; it is a book that brings you face to face with the shocking reality. The central character in this book is Maria, a prostitute. Maria comes from a poor family that lives in Brazil. Her dreams are very simple: love, a husband, a house and children. She is let down by her first two lovers, so she loses faith in love, and starts searching for money. She goes to Switzerland in search for her dreams, but she is awaken from her dreams by the shocking reality, and finally, she finds herself working as a prostitute in a desperate attempt to get money. She develops a fascination of sex until one day she meets a young painter for whom her heart beats. She has to choose then between love and her other dreams. ”
