Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything

Elizabeth Gilbert

A&C Black, Mar 5, 2007 - Biography & Autobiography - 352 pages

In this memoir, 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.
