Even harder to swallow is the apparent saintliness of her husband, who fits no one's stereotype of an investment fund owner.Ĭoelho further upends expectations by resolving Linda's problems without punishing her. ![]() Linda's story is our story, but her evident narcissism - who among us wouldn't settle for a rich, loving spouse and a prestigious, enjoyable career? - erodes our sympathy.
