Nonfiction by Ariel Levy
At one point in this story, the author attends a small party where a new acquaintance asks, "Are you the Ariel that all the bad things happened to?" Unfortunately, she has to say yes to that question.
Ariel begins this book at a low point: her spouse has left her, her baby died, and she has to leave her beloved home. Then she goes back in time, and she tries to explain to the reader how she started out to be "the kind of woman who is free to do as she chooses," and ended up finding out how many things that she decidedly did not choose will happen anyway.
This was a really interesting memoir, honest and touching and very readable.
