Elizabeth Gilbert tells how she made the difficult choice to leave behind all the trappings of modern American success (marriage, house in the country, career) and find, instead, what she truly wanted from life. Setting out for a year to study three different aspects of her nature amid three different cultures, Gilbert explored the art of pleasure in Italy and the art of devotion in India, and then a balance between the two on the Indonesian island of Bali. By turns rapturous and rueful, this wise and funny author (whom Booklistcalls Anne Lamotts hip, yoga- practicing, footloose younger sister) is poised to garner yet more adoring fans.A meditation on love in its many formslove of food, language, humanity, God, and most meaningful for Gilbert, love of self. (Los Angeles Times)An engaging, intelligent, and highly entertaining memoir. (Time)Gilberts prose is fueled by a mix of intelligence, wit and colloquial exuberance that is close to irresistible. (The New York Times Book Review)This insightful, funny account of her travels reads like a mix of Susan Orlean and Frances Mayes. (Entertainment Weekly)This is a wonderful book, brilliant and personal, rich in spiritual insight. (Anne Lamott)A celebrated writer pens an irresistible, candid, and eloquent account of her pursuit of worldly pleasure, spiritual devotion, and what she really wanted out of life. (more) (less)
