![]() ![]() She goes to a variety of mental health professionals and ‘healers’ in the hope of finding a solution for her lost sense of being and in most cases, she’s not ready to listen to what they say. Over the following chapters she fights her inner demons and mostly lets them win. The cure for boredom with Linda appears to be lust but as anyone who seeks a physical or pharmaceutical cure for their troubles finds out, cures are seldom simple or straightforward. She wants adventure, she wants variety, and the next thing you know she’s interviewing her childhood sweetheart who’s now a politician and she’s giving him a blow-job. She can’t cope with the idea of something so dire as just not feeling fulfilled so she decides she has depression. ![]() She arouses “desire in men and envy in other women”. Linda has everything any woman could want – down to a fabulous figure, a wardrobe full of expensive clothes. Her husband who’d happily give her anything she wanted, and they have two beautiful problem-free children. She’s successful in her journalism career, she has a fabulous marriage to a man with lots of inherited wealth and whom she loves. It’s a story where you’ll have to look quite hard to find anybody to like in amongst its cast of spoiled and over-privileged characters. Adultery by Paulo Coelho is a beautifully written tale of unpleasant people doing unpleasant things to each other in the name of love, lust, boredom or depression. ![]()
