Ӕ Was very impressed by Paulo's confident honesty writing this book - that is always a big plus factor for me. I had read a few pages of The Alchemist when I picked up this book - as a loan from a friend I had to return The Zahir so I read it out of his written sequence. I'd recommend you actually do so, it sets the context for how The Alchemist was written - which I still need to return to. A difficult book to get into and read. I am not sure though whether it was the book itself or the actor doing the reading which made it so difficult (could have been a mixture of both). Overall a book that can make you think about where you are in life, but will not be one that I would be interested in in reading again. no reviews | add a review

The narrator of The Zahir is a bestselling novelist who lives in Paris and enjoys all the privileges money and celebrity bring. His wife of ten years, Esther, is a war correspondent who has disappeared along with a friend, Mikhail, who may or may not be her lover. Was Esther kidnapped, murdered, or did she simply escape a marriage that left her unfulfilled? The narrator doesn't have any answers, but he has plenty of questions of his own. Then one day Mikhail finds the narrator and promises to reunite him with his wife. In his attempt to recapture a lost love, the narrator discovers something unexpected about himself.
