About this listen

It's 3 a.m. and Elizabeth Gilbert is sobbing on the bathroom floor. She's in her 30s, she has a husband, a house, they're trying for a baby - and she doesn't 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, brown-eyed identical twins and gains 25pounds, an ashram in India, where she finds that enlightenment entails getting up in the middle of the night to scrub the temple floor, and Bali where a toothless medicine man of indeterminate age offers her a new path to peace: simply sit still and smile. And slowly happiness begins to creep up on her.

I absolutely loved this audiobook. I listened to it in one sitting I could not switch it off. Elizabeth has had an amazing journey and I feel very privileged that she has let me hear all about that journey. This memoir is funny, heart breaking and uplifting all at one time. I can't sing its praises enough, if you've ever wondered what you are doing with your life this is the audiobook for you!
