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.

Having watched the film years ago I felt drawn recently to listen to the book. Enough time has passed that I couldn’t remember how the film ended.
Obviously there’s a lot more information in the book, Liz, (as she calls herself,) shares her pain and joy but not in a way that brings tears, it’s a life lived, or part of a life, I found it thought provoking and enjoyed listening to her journey.

This was just what I needed at this time

Second time reading this book at a different stage in my life and it is still so relevant. You are swept up in the emotions and on the journey with her.

Beautiful

This book is a spiritual odyssey. It's my first time re-reading it in 10 years and I hope I'll read it again 10 years from now. wonderful, funny, poignant and moving.

it's a shame about the sound cutting out now and then. it sounds kind of like a scratched CD, but it only happens about 5 or 6 times over the course of the book.

Beautiful story with a woman with realistic issues to deal with. Atypically she walks out on her broken life to get back basics and in the process she and we the listeners learn some spiritual truths. I cannot imagine myself in an ashram, but the first six years of my life were spent in a convent. I came to see that it’s possible even probable that some universal truths are just that. If we can forget that they may manifest in different ways they may be saying similar things. I loved this book which came to me at a time of change. I recommend it, it’s an easy accessible way to approach impossibly difficult issues and understand some basic truths.
