Hippie by paulo coelho6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() One fan of Coelho writes:Įven though I enjoyed learning a little more about Paulo Coelho, his rebellious stage and his emotional journey to find the meaning of life, for me, Hippie fell flat. Hippie is a book Coelho’s fans seem to struggle with, as judged by reviews at Good Reads, likely because Hippie has a lot going on. Paulo Coelho, whose book The Alchemist has been read by somewhere between 50 and 100 million people doesn’t like agree with that, although if you read Hippie you’ll understand the context of the quote. Books bring us opinions and studies, analyses and comparisons, while the scared flame of madness brings us to the truth.” – Paulo Coelho, Hippie Trade your books for madness and wonder – they you will be a bit closer to what you seek. “A man in search of spirituality knows little, because he reads of it and tries to fill his intellect with what he judges wise. ![]()

Confessions of a shopaholic novel6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() Her family business is in bad shape, and her actual family is even worse. Heroine Fixie’s keen sense of duty is getting in the way of her need to make choices and live for herself. This is a powerful story about family, ambition and longing, cunningly disguised as a souffle of a romantic comedy. Simply put, her books are filled with warmth, empathy and emotional intelligence. ![]() Her best novels are wildly wise pieces of prose, masquerading as romantic comedies and we love that she treats her heroines’ relationship with work with as much interest and respect as she treats their love lives. They're conventional, in that they tend to be flawed, loveable and self-deprecating, but their willingness to embrace vulnerability and their enormous imaginations takes them to new heights. ![]() And to be honest we love all her heroines. Like her most famous heroine, Kinsella worked as a financial journalist before she started writing fiction and she even confessed to us that all of her own heroines "have a snippet of me somewhere". ![]() She's an Oxford graduate with a PPE degree, who published seven successful novels under the name Madeleine Wickham before she unleashed shopaholic Becky Bloomwood on the world. She’s a master of satire, skewering trends and cultural pretensions, but always punching up. Kinsella is one of the most talented contemporary comic writers around. ![]() |
