Eat, Pray, Love

It's 3 a.m. and Elizabeth Gilbert is sobbing on the bathroom floor. She's in her thirties; 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 twenty-five pounds; 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.
