false 1430 73 <p> <i>Eleven Minutes</i> 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. </p> <p> This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more. </p> 1950213 2003 Eleven Minutes: A Novel (P.S.) total:7801|5:2017|4:2456|3:2124|2:831|1:300| 7801 28540 10266 920 5 8 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Aug 25 08:25:25 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 04 18:27:11 -0700 2007
