Eat pray love/elizabeth gilbert

Its 3 a.

and Elizabeth Gilbert is sobbing on the bathroom floor.

Shes in her thirties, she has a husband, a house, theyre trying for a baby - and she doesnt 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.
