"Elizabeth Gilbert is in her thirties, settled in a large house with a husband who wants to start a family. But she does not want any of it. A bitter divorce and a rebound fling later, Elizabeth emerges battered yet determined to find what she has been missing.
So begins her quest. In Rome, she indulges herself and gains neraly two stone. In India, she finds enlightenment through scrubbing temple floors. Finally, in Bali, a toothless medicine man reveals a new path to peace, leaving her ready to love again."
