Description

Elizabeth Gilbert is a young married woman who is not happy with her family life. After a painful divorce and a tumultuous love affair, she is devastated and confused, but also free as never before. Liz embarks on a year-long journey in search of happiness and balance in her life. First she spends four months in Rome, where she learns Italian with the help of beautiful twin brothers, refrains from romantic involvement (despite the twins), and gains ten pounds. He then spent four months in an ashram in India, where he found that to attain enlightenment you had to be willing to even get up in the middle of the night and scrub the temple floor. There he managed to curb some of the demons within him. She eventually ended up in Bali, where a toothless shaman of unknown age showed her a new path to peace - just sit and smile. And lo and behold, happiness slowly creeps in and overwhelms her.

„Soothing and inspiring, written with incredible wit, this book is for anyone who has ever lost something or told themselves there had to be another, better way.“
