It's 3 a.m. and Elizabeth Gilbert is sobbing on the bathroom floor. She's in her thirties, she has a husband, a house, they're trying for a baby - and she doesn't want any of it.

A bitter divorce and a turbulent love affair later, she emerges battered and bewildered and realises it is time to pursue her own journey in search of three things she has been missing: pleasure, devotion and balance.

So she travels to Rome, where she learns Italian from handsome, brown-eyed identical twins and gains twenty-five pounds, an ashram in India, where she finds that enlightenment entails getting up in the middle of the night to scrub the temple floor, and Bali where a toothless medicine man of indeterminate age offers her a new path to peace: simply sit still and smile. And slowly happiness begins to creep up on her.

“self absorbed and boring”

It is very rare I do not finish a book. This one defeated me. The narrator is like a spoilt child. I couldn't warm to her. I could have put that aside were it not for the one dimensional characterisation . The... More

“Eat, Pray, Love”

I love this book - its funny, intelligent and is written from the heart. Somehow Elizabeth Gilbert manages to combine tragic with funny with entertaining travel journal.

“breath of fresh air”

Its not often that I find a book so interesting to be so light and unpretentious in what it is trying to portray

The story is humorous and yet touches on deeper subjects of loss and self discovery.
