I will use my second nomination to nominate:
The Woman Who Walked into Doors, Roddy Doyle "This is the heart-rending story of a woman struggling to reclaim her dignity after a violent, abusive marriage and a worsening drink problem. Paula Spencer recalls her contented childhood, the audacity she learned as a teenager, the exhilaration of her romance with Charlo and the marriage to him that left her powerless. Capturing both her vulnerability and her strength" -from GoodReads |

I would like to nominate: "A Fortune-Teller Told Me" by Tiziano Terzani.
Some years ago I read another one of his books and I loved it. I am sure this one will prove to be equally interesting. Spoiler:
Also I would like to second: The Woman Who Walked into Doors by Roddy Doyle |
