From the Publisher

This beautifully written, heartfelt memoir touched a nerve among both readers and reviewers. 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 Booklist calls ?Anne Lamott?s hip, yoga- practicing, footloose younger sister?) is poised to garner yet more adoring fans.

From the Critics

Gilberts prose is fueled by a mix of intelligence, wit and colloquial exuberance that is close to irresistible. ("The New York Times Book Review")

    Makes you think 3

    A friend recommended this book and I am glad she did. I read this book while my son was a newborn and maybe it was my frame of mind, but it really got to me. It was inspirational and makes you think.

    Inspiring 4

    This book is about Gilberts' unpredictable journey to search for her soul. It is honest, funny, witty and inspiring. When I saw her in an interview, I remember thinking, "this woman is pure light". What a pleasure to be brought along on her journey to three very different countries and to experience what each one in turn meant to her.

    This was my bath time book. I got to steal away a few minutes and it was so worth it. This book is so well written and make me laugh at loud at parts. And really think at others. Great read.
