About the Book Eleven Minutes chronicles the story of a young Brazilian woman named Maria. She moves out of her small village to Geneva, Switzerland where she hopes to start her life over. A chance encounter with an Arab man one night earns her thousands of francs. Lured by the prospect of easy money, she takes up prostitution as a profession. Her feelings about ‘true love’ are put to test when she meets Ralf, a man she eventually falls in love with. In her journey of self-discovery, she is forced to choose between continuing with her profession or rising to the occasion and risking everything for the possibility of discovering what love actually means. About the Author Born on 24 August 1947, Brazilian lyricist and novelist Paulo Coelho is best known for his novel The Alchemist. Even at a young age, Paulo always knew that he was meant to become a writer. In fact, when a young Paulo told his mother about his wish to become a writer and expressed his unwillingness to follow a traditional path, his parents committed him to a mental institution. But, that didn’t stop Paulo Coelho, and he went on to write best-selling novels, such as The Winner Stands Alone, The Devil and Miss Prym and The Witch of Portobello, among others.
