About This Item
Harper Perennial, New York, 2015. 24th trade paperback printing. Condition: Very good, light edge wear and corner bumps, faint creases at bottom corner, spine has creasing.
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.
