In the book “Adultery,” we are introduced to Linda, an independent woman in her 30s with a seemingly perfect life—content and stable marriage, a caring husband, adorable kids, and a fulfilling career in journalism. However, amidst her routine daily existence, she begins to question the monotony and lack of excitement in her days. Dissatisfaction sets in, and her life feels unfulfilling. Then, a chance encounter with her high-school sweetheart, Jacob, now a successful politician, reignites the passion and thrill that had been missing.
Despite knowing the potential difficulties, Linda embarks on an affair with Jacob, finding the excitement it brings to be irresistible. This decision marks a pivotal turning point in her life—a transformation with profound consequences.
Originally written in Portuguese, Paulo Coelho’s native language, “Adultery” was later translated into English and published in August 2014. The book is available in Paperback and can be purchased online through Amazon India.
