Adultery - Paulo Coelho


Yet another new novel from the international bestselling author whose words change lives. Though the novel is not as interesting - in fact I did not like it at all, there were some thought-provoking words -

You don't choose your life, it chooses you. There's no point asking why life has reserved certain joys or griefs, you just accept them and carry on. We can't choose our lives, but we can decide what to do with the joys or griefs we're given. Sometimes you have to lose yourself to discover who you are.


Linda knows she's lucky - has everything - money, lovely kids, bit dull but understanding and loving husband, respectable job. But she is not happy... Kinda depressed, or maybe not really, she is not sure herself...And what she does is not what I would have loved reading....

Thanks to Reshma for sharing this book with me; lucky I didnot spend my money on it. Not sure what's going wrong with this man - with every passing year, the quality of his books are comming down, is it time to stop reading him so that I would not loose my interest in The Alchemist?
