Not quite Fifty Shades of Grey but bound to unleash a secret, bookish wanting to lay your hands on it. Because the book is not really about adultery it is, at the risk of sounding pedantic, about life.
But then, you may ask, how can “adultery” be inspirational? Simple. A connect is snagged because readers stumble upon inspirations while engaging with him.Īdultery is no different. He uses clever ploys, and his books, reportedly, fly off the shelves almost everywhere in the world: most notable among them is his ability to impart to his prose a lurking depth, even if the situation (since he writes fiction) doesn’t quite merit it. Neither did anything much to me: he has this singular quality of couching gems of wisdom in the annals of literary fanfare that I find tedious - but I speak for myself. Speaking for myself, I’ve read Coelho’s The Alchemist (for pleasure) and I’ve read The Witch of Portobello (to review). Or at least nodded their heads thoughtfully. Many more in our group of friends (present at given interaction) agreed.
His quote from The Alchemist that is: “…when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” It helped reshape her mindset, became her life (affirming) mantra. Somebody once told me that Paulo Coelho managed to bring out the best in her.
