In the novel “Adultery,” we follow the journey of Linda, a woman in her 30s, who seemingly has it all—an independent spirit, a content and stable marriage, a caring husband, delightful children, and a rewarding career in journalism. Despite her seemingly perfect life, she starts to feel a sense of monotony and dissatisfaction with her routine days. However, everything changes when she reconnects with her high-school sweetheart, Jacob, now a successful politician.
In Jacob’s company, Linda rediscovers the passion and excitement that were once missing from her life. Tempted by the allure of their past, they engage in an affair, well aware of the potential consequences. Yet, Linda finds the affair thrilling and invigorating. This newfound transformation leads her to a crucial crossroad that could alter the course of her life forever.
Originally written in Paulo Coelho’s native language, Portuguese, the book “Adultery” was later translated into English and published in August 2014. For readers interested in exploring Linda’s gripping journey, the English edition is available in Paperback and can be ordered online at Amazon India.
