The Spy

In Coelho's audiobook The Spy, the true story of Mata Hari, the famous courtesan accused of espionage who was executed for treason a century ago, comes to life. Mata Hari was a dancer, shocking and delighting audiences during World War I, and became a confidante of some of the richest and most powerful men of the time. She dared to overcome the moralism and provincial mentality of the early 20th century, but in the end she paid for it with her own life. As she awaited execution in a Paris prison, one of her last wishes was for a pen and paper to write letters.
