Paulo Coelho.

What is this book about?
The title of this book is “The Devil and Miss Prym” written by the most popular writer of our days Paulo Coelho. He is a Brazilian novelist, born in 1947. Its best-known novel is “The Alchemist”
In a small village in the mountains live only 281 inhabitants. It’s just a peaceful village where nothing interesting happens. Miss Prym is a young woman, living a boring life in the village waiting for something different to happen and change lives in the village. One day a stranger visits the village and talks to her. He tells her that he needs to find out if people are good or bad. He brings a lot of gold and he wants to offer it to the village if they will to kill one of their own. He asks her to give the message to the people of the village and she is very sure that they will refuse to kill someone for the gold. She is She believes that people in the village are nice and they never will do so. She tells people about his offer and they decide to kill Berta , an old woman who lives in the village and can read the emotions. She also can read the signs and see the Devil. She is the oldest person in the village.

My Favourite part
So the other people in the village decide to shoot her because they think she is useless. After killing her they could take the gold and transform the village into a new place. Miss Prym tells them that taking the gold and killing Berta would prove how evil they are, with no morals. Then people decide to refuse the gold and don’t trust the stranger. But Miss Prym wants the gold for herself and tries to steal it but there are some circumstances that stop her. In the end, the stranger admits that people are neither good nor evil.
