Omtale fra forlaget
'Beautifully written and gripping'. Sunday Mirror When Mata Hari arrived in Paris she was penniless. Soon she was feted as the most elegant woman in the city. A dancer who shocked and delighted audiences, as a confidante and courtesan she bewitched the era's richest and most powerful men. But as paranoia consumed a country at war, Mata Hari's lifestyle brought her under suspicion. In 1917 she was arrested in her hotel room on the Champs Elysees and accused of espionage. Told in Mata Hari's voice through her final letter, The Spy is the unforgettable story of a woman who dared to break the conventions of her time, and paid the price.

Dette er historien om den legendariske Mata Hari, fra tidlige ungdomsår, til den fatale slutten foran eksekusjonspelotongen.
Til tider interessant, men litt for "lett".
Velskrevet roman med både blandingen av faktaene rundt spionen Mata Hari og oppdiktet. Det var god blanding og det er godt skrevet. Følesene til et menneske er godt beskrevet i denne romanen og man blir fra å med første side trukket inn i verden og handlingen Coelho ønsker å skape. Fantastisk roman.
Her er min omtale av Paulo Coelhos Spionen. Linken fører til min bokblogg.
Love is an act of faith & its face should always be covered in mystery. Every moment should be lived with feeling & emotion because if we try to decipher it & understand it, the magic disappears.
So you must learn to follow your destiny, whatever it may be, with joy.
(...) it is one thing to get used to something, another to get satisfied.
When we don't know where life is taking us, we are never lost.
