A review by angek98
The Spy by Paulo Coelho

4.0

"What kind of paradise was this, where nothing, absolutely nothing, interesting happened? I was not looking for happiness, but what the French called la vraie vie, a true life, with its moments of inexpressible beauty and deep depression, with its loyalties and betrayals, with its fears and moments of peace. "

Reviews tell me this wasn't the most historically accurate representation of Mata Hari's life, but it introduced me to her, so I say not so bad.

Paulo Coelho's writing is so poignant and relevant, and I'm definitely going to read more on Mata Hari now. And check out more of Coelho's books.
