Katie's Picks

Katie Kitchel has rejoined the Norwich Bookstore staff on a very part-time basis as she has her hands full with Owen (6) and Liam (2) at home. She is a Dartmouth graduate and lives with her husband Davis here in Norwich.

 

Committed
by Elizabeth Gilbert
Is she opinionated?  Yes.  Does she loudly toot her own horn?  Sure (she would be the first one to own up to that!)  But, like her or not, Elizabeth Gilbert has a keen eye, a sharp perspective, and a blazing wit.  In this memoir she goes on crusade to make peace with the institution of marriage - interviewing women from all corners of the world, combing through decades of data, and sharing insights from her own experiences (and mis-experiences) with love.  If you did not enjoy her first memoir, Eat, Pray, Love, then this might not be the book for you.  But if you did, go ahead and pick this one up.  She'll have you laughing, raging, and thinking about marriage in an entirely new way.  This would be a great choice for a book club--as the book is full of thought-provoking topics that would make for spirited conversation!
