Paulo Coelho

"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. All that changes when she encounters an ex-boyfriend from her adolescence. 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" --

Adultery

"I haven't the slightest interest in being happy," he says defiantly. "I prefer to live life passionately, which is dangerous because you never know what might happen next."

Took me 2 years to finish this book because I didn't want it to end.

About so much more than adultery, this is an analysis of the darkest parts of the soul in contrast with the brightest. I don't read much philosophy, but this raises some significant and interesting questions about fidelity, happiness, and love.

Ok this is a 1.5 to be fair, because I loved the paragliding and the happy ending part. But, if I knew this book was what it was all about I would have not read it at all, it actually made me feel sick.

Far less inspiring than The Alchemist to me, but still quite insightful. Interesting detail that we never get to know the husband’s name.

I basically bought the book because of all the advertising I saw on the author's page, and another reason was the name of the book. I enjoyed it so much but to be frank the story lost its charm near the end. It started off very interesting to me and I lost interest with every page I flipped until I finished it. I would recommend it to people who haven't read such stories because it gives insight into marriage love and lust.

           Okuduğum bir süre boyunca kitabı Coelho’nun yazdığına inanmadım, basit bir mutlu ev kadını hezeyanı ve aldatma olayı idi, öyle de bitti ama Coelho’nun sona doğru yine yeniden açtığı ışıklı pencereyi açtığını görmek beni mutlu etti. Satır aralarında keşfedilmeyi bekleyen; yaşamın anlamı, sevgi, gerçek sevgi tanımlarını yine sevdim. 
“... zamanı durduramayız, durdurmamalıyız da zaten. Bilgelik ve tecrübe insanı olduğundan farklı birine dönüştürmez. Zaman insanı olduğundan farklı birine dönüştürmez. İnsanı olduğundan farklı birine dönüştüren tek şey sevgidir.”

A hot mess, from start to finish. Don't bother reading this -- the author has written much better books.

It is so disturbing to read what any person can goes through but never talk even admit about.

A Novel

Nicole Sargent-Carberry

I really hated the Alchemist but something about this was alluring to me. I enjoyed it for the most part, I resonated with questioning my happiness and wondering if something is better out there (I have a serious case of FOMO about everything). My issue is that Coehlo always tries so hard to be introspective. I felt like he hid that well for most of the book but the last 50 pages were back to his old ways. I’m glad I read it but probably won’t read it again!
