An encounter with angels.

Why do we hurt those we love, is a rhetorical question Paulo Coelho asks himself.

It is a question most of us have asked ourselves at some point in our lives.

Paulo Coelho sets off on a journey into the Mojave Desert to seek answers to this and his troubled past.

He has been sent on this quest by his master. The master he met in a dream, then met some time later in real life.

The Valkyries is a book to read after The Alchemist.
