Summary Note |
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 realizes it is time to pursue her own journey in search of three things she has been missing: pleasure, devotion and balance. She travels to Rome, indulges in food and nearly gains two stones. In India she finds enlightenment by getting up in the middle of the night to scrub the temple floor. Finally, in Bali, a toothless medicine man reveals a new path to peace: simply sit still and smile, leaving her ready to love again. |
