There are few books that would seem to hit the spot I'm currently in better than this one.
Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia by Elizabeth Gilbert is a memoir by a woman who needed a BIG CHANGE, who realized her life wasn't working, who had to get over someone. Well, two people, the husband she dumped and the man she fled to in order to feel better about about the husband she dumped.
My good friend who recommended this to me recently said "I love the book. I wonder if I like her?" and this is kind of the question. It is good therapy, she is endeavouring to find the essence of life as it should be lived, to realign values. I just wish she didn't sound quite so smug...if some of the pain or truth that caused her to wander the world were more apparent.
Maybe I'm just jealous that to heal herself she could afford (if only the time!!) to travel, explore, learn.
Let's see how this one turns out.
