Eat Pray Love is the author’s own travelogue-memoir about one woman finding out about what she is missing. Elizabeth Gilbert was in her 30s, settled in a large house with a husband who wants to start a family when it dawns on her that, actually, she doesn’t want any of this.After a bitter divorce and a rebound fling, Gilbert ventures on a quest of much needed therapeutic self indulgence. In Rome she makes the most of the cuisine, putting on two stone, in India she finds enlightenment through scrubbing temple floors, whilst in Bali a toothless medicine man reveals a path to peace that leaves her ready to love again.
