Eleven years ago, Pilar and her childhood love walked away from each other—he to seek spiritual enlightenment, she to bury her feelings and build a life of quiet independence. Now, fate brings them together once more.
He is a charismatic spiritual leader. She is a woman who no longer believes in miracles. But as they journey through the snow-covered landscapes of the French Pyrenees, old emotions resurface—along with pain, regret, and the possibility of redemption.
By the banks of the River Piedra, they must confront the choices that shaped their lives and the love that never truly died.
A lyrical meditation on love, forgiveness, and the divine, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept is classic Paulo Coelho—spiritual, soulful, and deeply human.
