m.

and Elizabeth Gilbert is sobbing on the bathroom floor.

Shes in her thirties she has a husband a house theyre trying for a baby and she doesnt 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 browneyed identical twins and gains twentyfive pounds to an ashram in India where she finds that enlightenment entails getting up in the middle of the night to scrub the temple floor and to Bali where a toothless medicine man of indeterminate age offers her a new path to peace to simply sit still and smile.

And slowly happiness begins to creep up on her.
