Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

As many before me have named it; a woman in search for everything across Italy, India and Indonesia.
This will only be a quick review, as I am not re-reading this book, but merely reviewing from memory before I go onto read the follow up book by Elizabeth Gilbert - Committed.
As many already know from either reading the book, or watching the film featuring Julia Roberts as Elizabeth, this is a story about loosing it all in the early mid-life crisis that hits Elizabeth. She had h home, a husband, a successful career and yet instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she was consumed with panic, grief and confusion.
To recover from this she decides to leave the country and travel to three different destinations in order to find her-self, develop a new passion for life, and learn to enjoy life again.
The journey that Elizabeth goes through and the way she has put it all down on paper is mesmerising and funny.
She encounters new people that allow her to view he life from a different angle, new cultures that allow her to explore and enjoy life and spiritually explore here-self.
An articulate and moving memoir of one woman's self-discovery, eat, pray, love is about what can happen, what can be achieved when you take life into your own hands and stop trying to Kobe by social expectations.
It is an absorbing read that I fully recommend as a must read.
And now I will go onto read ;Committed, I can only hope it is as mesmerising as eat, pray, love.
