The Spy: A novel

In his new novel, Paulo Coelho, bestselling author ofÂ The AlchemistÂ andÂ Adultery, brings to life one of history's most enigmatic women: Mata Hari.Â

HER ONLY CRIME WAS TO BE AN INDEPENDENT WOMAN
Â
When Mata Hari arrived in Paris she was penniless.Â Within months she was the most celebrated woman in the city.
Â
As a dancer, she shocked and delighted audiences; as a courtesan, she bewitched the eraâ€™s richest and most powerful men.
Â
But as paranoia consumed a country at war, Mata Hariâ€™s lifestyle brought her under suspicion. In 1917, she was arrested in her hotel room on the Champs Elysees, and accused of espionage.
Â
Told in Mata Hariâ€™s voice through her final letter, The Spy is the unforgettable story of a woman who dared to defy convention and who paid the ultimate price.
