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.

Nekiam – 20.10.2009

– Hvis jeg kun fikk lov til å si én ting om denne boka, ville det vært at jeg elsker språket i den. Gilbert er veldig karismatisk, og det skinner gjennom i boka. Boka er delt inn i tre deler, én handler om Italia, dit hun drar for å spise, den neste om India, dit hun drar for å be, den siste handler om en tur til Indonesia, der hun finner kjærligheten. Den biten jeg likte aller best var biten om India, selv om jeg har sett at andre mener det er den kjedeligste biten. Selv syntes jeg slutten var det dårligste med boka, men kanskje jeg bare er bitter på at den har en slutt.
