“I want to change. I need to change. I’m gradually losing touch with myself.”
Adultery, the provocative new novel by Paulo Coelho, explores the question of what it means to live life fully and happily, finding the balance between life’s routine and the desire for something new.

To the outside world, Linda seems to have it all: a perfect marriage; beautiful children; and a great job. Inside, though, she keeps a secret. Linda is intensely unhappy. A chance encounter with an ex-boyfriend makes her realize what she is missing, is passion. In Adultery, Coelho uses Linda’s journey to explore the age old question, what is true happiness?
An interesting take, and self examination, on a common subject.
