HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS, 2007. Paperback. Fine. Multimillion-seller Coelho (The Devil and Miss Prym, etc.) returns with ano ther uncanny fusion of philosophy, religious miracle and moral parable. The Portobello of the title is London's Portobello Road, where Sherine Khalil, aka Athena, finds the worship meeting she's leading-where she becomes an o mniscient goddess named Hagia Sophia-disrupted by a Protestant protest. Fra med as a set of interviews conducted with those who knew Athena, who is dea d as the book opens, the story recounts her birth in Transylvania to a Gyps y mother, her adoption by wealthy Lebanese Christians; her short, early mar riage to a man she meets at a London college (one of the interviewees); her son Viorel's birth; and her stint selling real estate in Dubai. Back in Lo ndon in the book's second half, Athena learns to harness the powers that ha ve been present but inchoate within her, and the story picks up as she acqu ires a "teacher" (Deidre O'Neill, aka Edda, another interviewee), then disc iples (also interviewed), and speeds toward a spectacular end. Coelho veers between his signature criticism of modern life and the hydra-headed altern ative that Athena taps into. Athena's earliest years don't end up having mu ch plot, but the second half's intrigue sustains the book.
