About this listen

Linda knows she's lucky. Yet every morning when she opens her eyes to a so-called new day, she feels like closing them again.

Her friends recommend medication. But Linda wants to feel more, not less. And so she embarks on an adventure as unexpected as it is daring and that reawakens a side of her that she - respectable wife, loving mother, ambitious journalist - thought had disappeared.

Even she can't predict what will happen next...< /p>

Critic Reviews

" Adultery perfectly illustrates the faint line between madness and insanity, happiness and unhappiness as well as the eternal search for our own 'personal legend'." ( The Daily Express)
All stars

This frustrating story about adultery doesn't makes sense until the end. I love how raw and honest it was. PC captures the female psyche so well when describing Linda's heightened emotions and her irrational plans. It comes full circle when Linda's husband confesses he felt exactly as she did, cutting off emotionally to ignore the grief he felt. But they both embark on their 'rediscovery of self' as a married middle aged couple when they take on new challenges and face their fears head on.

Did not see that coming...

Paulo Coelho has written another great book exploring humanity and spirituality. Don’t let the title and the top layer of the story fool you. It just makes the real themes perhaps more accessible than some of his other works. This is another beauty about life; its struggles and rewards. Most importantly, it reveals the nature and value of true love.

He’s done it again!

Love Pauli Coelho usually but found this boring and the readers tone monotonous. The character was so unlikable I didn’t care what happened to her.

Disappointed

I am a very big PC fan but this was a struggle to read. I completed it because it was PC but really didn't enjoy this book at all.... it was so wishy washy.... just a self centered woman who justified sleeping with a man o outside her marriage.... the sex didn't even sound worth going back for . terrible book sorry Paulo.

Not for me

very little to like really. an unrealistic view of relationships read by an annoying singsong voice.

the voice of the reader was not pleasant
