My first piece of advice is the hardest, and it has nothing to do with your performance. Never fall in love. Love is a poison. Once you fall in love, My first piece of advice is the hardest, and it has nothing to do with your performance. Never fall in love. Love is a poison. Once you fall in love, you lose control over your life - your heart and mind belong to someone else. Your existence is threatened. You start to do everything to hold on to your loved one and lose all sense of danger. Love, that inexplicable and dangerous thing, sweeps everything you are from the face of earth and, in its place, leaves only what your beloved wants you to be.
I'm not sure how much I enjoyed The Spy. The last novel written by Paulo Coelho that I read, Brida, was surprisingly awful and left me bitterly disappointed as opposed to The Spy, which was a more pleasant experience in terms of both the plot and the writing. The book is a biography of a woman whose acts have been deemed controversial and she was eventually executed in France during The First World War because she was considered a war spy. Given that I haven't heard of Mata Hari until Paulo Coelho written this novel based on her life I cannot say if the historical facts are 100% genuine. Overall, the novel appeared to be a little rushed to me.
