Kniha (2019, vydavateľ Absynt) rozpráva príbeh Ariel, ženy s jedinečnou osobnosťou, ktorá je napriek tomu hlboko osamelá. Autorka ukazuje, že množstvo ľudí môže znamenať samotu a že ľudská sebestrednosť bráni skutočnému počúvaniu, vnímaniu a pochopeniu. Ak čitateľ dokáže Ariel pochopiť, zažije okamih, ktorý zmení život, a knižku si preto určite zamilujete.

A gorgeous, darkly humorous memoir about a woman overcoming dramatic loss and finding reinvention—for readers of Cheryl Strayed and Joan Didion
When thirty-eight-year-old New Yorker writer Ariel Levy left for a reporting trip to Mongolia in 2012, she was pregnant, married, financially secure, and successful on her own terms. A month later, none of that was true.
Levy picks you up and hurls you through the story of how she built an unconventional life and then watched it fall apart with astonishing speed. Like much of her generation, she was raised to resist traditional rules—about work, about love, and about womanhood.
“I wanted what we all want: everything. We want a mate who feels like family and a lover who is exotic, surprising. We want to be youthful adventurers and middle-aged mothers. We want intimacy and autonomy, safety and stimulation, reassurance and novelty, coziness and thrills. But we can’t have it all.”
In this profound and beautiful memoir, Levy chronicles the adventure and heartbreak of being “a woman who is free to do whatever she chooses.” Her own story of resilience becomes an unforgettable portrait of the shifting forces in our culture, of what has changed—and of what is eternal.
