Reviews:
Cherelle (Australia) (2007/12/05): Why is it that we destory the things we love most? This is the question Paulo Coehlo faces in this story about his confrontation with his past. In 'The Valkyries' Paulo and his wife Cristina embark on a 40 day quest into the starkly beautiful and sometimes dangerous Mojave desert, where they encounter the Valkyries, strange warrior women who travel the desert on motorcycles.
For me, Cristina was an amazing character in this book - as inspirational as Valhalla - the leader of the Valkyries.
