About this listen

From one of the world's best loved storytellers, Paulo Coelho, comes a riveting novel tracing the mysterious life and disappearance of Athena dubbed ‘the Witch of Portobello’.

The novel unravels Athena's mysterious beginnings, via an orphanage in Romania, to a childhood in Beirut. When war breaks out, her adoptive family move with her to London, where a dramatic turn of events occurs…

Athena, who has been dubbed 'the Witch of Portobello' for her seeming powers of prophecy, disappears dramatically, leaving those who knew her to solve the mystery of her life and abrupt departure.

Like The Alchemist, The Witch of Portobello is the kind of story that will transform the way readers think about love, passion, joy and sacrifice.

I always love reading Coelho; The messages are good for the soul. Time to reflect.

A fan

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Struggled with the story - a series of cliches with drops of modern elements - paired with a performance that consisted of only two accents for multiple races and ethnicities. There were many occasions where I had no ideea which character is speaking.

This is not a Coelho masterpiece.

Waste of neurons

I tried so hard to listen to this. The narration is as dull and pointless as the story. A waste of several hours of my life.

Rubbish
