The Spy - Paulo Coehlo

The Spy

-Paulo Coehlo.

This is story of world famous female spy(she never was , wanted to be called Spy)  "Mata Hari" .

This is not a biography or war story. But it's based on real facts .
It's beautiful novel written by #PauloCoehlo which gives insights about emotional, romantic, responsible , patriotic and free spirit of Mata Hari.
I don't want to disclose the story and ruin the book for you but to get your reading tastebuds going here are some beautiful excerpts from book :

"Yes, i turned this gossip into "secrets", because i wanted money and power. But all those who accuse me now , know I never revealed anything new.  "

"Flowers teach us that nothing is permanent : not their beauty , not even the fact that the will inevitably wilt, because they will still give new seeds, Remember this when you feel joy pain , or sadness. Everything passes, grows old, dies and is reborn "

"The clothing was formed of veils layered one on top of other. I removed the first one one paid attention , second & third people exchanged glances,  by fifth audience was focused. Even the women, whose eyes i met now and then in between movement. When i got sixth , i simulated an orgasm , cast myself to the ground while removing the seventh and final veil " For moment i did not hear a single sound from audience, then came the first "Bravo". I knew that were i in my country, i would be sent to prison but France was an example of equality and freedom . "

"That was my life ; I am the nightingale who gave everything and died while doing so" 

Sincerely ,

Mata Hari

The plight , the pride , sensualness, suffering, sacrifices, love  and emotions all relates to real life experiences for every women . She describes it for every women .
