Eat, Pray, Love … one woman’s search for everything
This book is a true account of the author’s search to find happiness. It contains three books outlining her journey through Italy, India and Indonesia, with thirty-six short tales in each. Elizabeth Gilbert describes this as ‘Japa Mala’, which is a string of beads, not unlike a Rosary, used for praying in India. The numbers are quite significant and she explains this at the beginning of the book. Elizabeth Gilbert begins her journey after a bitter divorce; a divorce from her husband that she didn’t embark on before praying for the very first time. The book is written with light hearted humour and the ups and downs of her life are quite comparable to many of our own; almost like a ‘gospel’ for women, with some great advice. Highly recommended … particularly for women at any milestone in their life.
