This was my first experience with a Paulo Coelho novel and I'm not sure what I think. Perhaps this was NOT the novel to start with when learning about a new author. Although the story was interesting and penned with very minimal graphic content, I felt it was a story that didn't need to be written. From back cover: "Eleven Minutes" is the story of Maria, a young girl from a Brazilian village, whose first innocent brushes with love leave her heartbroken. At a tender age, she becomes convinced that she will never find true love, instead believing that "love is a terrible thing that will make you suffer...". A chance meeting in Rio takes her to Geneva, where she dreams of finding fame and fortune. Maria's despairing view of love is put to the test when she meets a handsome young painter. In this odyssey of self-discovery, Maria has to choose between pursuing a path of darkness-sexual pleasure for its own sake-or risking everything to find her own "inner light" and the possibility of sacred sex, sex in the context of love."
