Adultery – Paulo Coelho
Book Review
The thought-provoking new novel from the international bestselling author whose words change lives.
A woman around her thirties begins to question the routine and predictability of her days. In everybody’s eyes, she has a perfect life: a solid and stable marriage, a loving husband, sweet and well-behaved children and a job as a journalist she can’t complain about. However, she can no longer bear the necessary effort to fake happiness when all she feels in life is an enormous apathy.
This is Linda’s story. She’s lucky. She knows that. It’s what makes being unhappy even worse. Her friends advise taking medication. But Linda wants to feel more, not less. A meeting with a politician, and ex-boyfriend, reawakens a side of her that she – respectable wife, devoted mother and ambitious journalist – thought had disappeared. She embarks on a relationship that is addictive, dangerous and undeniably exciting.
Jacob is now a successful politician and, during an interview, he ends up arousing something in her she hadn’t felt for a long time: passion. She will now do anything to conquer that impossible love, and will have to go down to the pit of human emotions to finally find her redemption. But the consequences are far-reaching . . .
