Eat, Pray, Love : One Woman's Search For Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia

The New Yorker: At the age of thirty-one, Gilbert moved with her husband to the suburbs of New York and began trying to get pregnant, only to realize that she wanted neither a child nor a husband. Three years later, after a protracted divorce, she embarked on a yearlong trip of recovery, with three main stops: Rome, for pleasure (mostly gustatory, with a special emphasis on gelato); an ashram outside of Mumbai, for spiritual searching; and Bali, for ?balancing.? These destinations are all on the beaten track, but Gilbert?s exuberance and her self-deprecating humor enliven the proceedings: recalling the first time she attempted to speak directly to God, she says, ?It was all I could do to stop myself from saying, ?I?ve always been a big fan of your work.? ?
