The inner light in oneself and the souls that all together is fascinating. The novel has some mature content apart from that it, has more thought-provoking things like the history of prostitution where they spoke about sex as a sacred thing. So, the story is very captivating and flowing. Not everyone speaks or tells a tale about them. Eleven Minutes is the story of a prostitute. When I read the blurb, I made my mind to read this book for sure because of the very unusual story. Can she move beyond the meeting of bodies to a meeting of minds or even souls – to a place where sex itself is sacred? My reviewįirst and foremost, the storyline is very much interested me. But when her emotional barriers are tested by a handsome painter, she must choose between the dark past she is on and risking everything to find her ‘inner light’. The reality- selling herself to survive- is a dehumanizing grind that pushes her further away from real love, towards a fascination with pure physical pleasure. A chance meeting in Rio takes her to Geneva, but the glittering life she hoped for was a fantasy. “Love is a terrible thing that will make you suffer…” so says Maria, a young Brazilian girl convinced from an early age that she will never find true love.
