Author: Elizabeth Gilbert
Genre: Memoir/Autobiography
When Liz realizes that her life is going in a downward direction she decides to embark on a journey to get back her equilibrium. Her journey takes her to the places she always wanted to visit - Italy, India and Indonesia. She leaves her life in New York and uses the advance that she received to write a book to sponsor her trip.
I presume that an introduction like that is enough to garner your interest in this book. Reading a friend's copy, midway I decided I should be having my own and hence I bought a copy. Must say I am not repenting it. There is something familiar about the way the author narrates. They are everyday situations that each one of us encounters and we all know how to handle them. We just enjoy reading someone else's crisis probably.
My favourite part of the book is her stay in Italy and yeah I slept through the India part. Must say that I agree with the critics.....there is much more to my country than spiritualism yaar!
A great read because it's so much real. No dramas here ;)
p.s. It has already been converted to a motion picture of the same name starring Julia Roberts
