In this way, Coelho exposes one situation, an eventful (and not so) morning in Cannes, from every possible angle by also providing the background information of what led to the happenings there and the personal thoughts of the person in whose mind the author is temporarily "settled". I find this approach to story telling a lot more fulfilling as it allows me to have a full grasp of the novel and to be more or less on the same level of understanding as the characters in it. I'd also like to mention that this is the first book by Paulo Coelho that I pick up and so far (I myself have only read through half of it), I've enjoyed every word of it because there are a lot of underlying messages that he has felt the need to convey to his readers. The arabic proverb was actually what made me incidentally stumble upon your blog - it was one of the few hits Google threw at me. Happy reading! :) Hey there
