Beskrivning
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.

Recensioner i media

'A writer of incandescent talent' Annie Proulx 'It's a good read. I can't get away from it' Britney Spears, Glamour 'If a more likable writer than Gilbert is currently in print, I haven't found him or her ... Gilbert's prose is fuelled by a mix of intelligence, wit and colloquial exuberance that is close to irresistible' New York Times 'A witty, honest account of loss and new beginnings, this will be enjoyed by anyone who's realised "having it all" isn't all it's cracked up to be' Easy Living

  1. 5/5 Emma

    Älskar boken. Älskar filmen. Älskar författaren. Det är en bok som kan läsas i alla faser i livet, men har hjälpt mig mycket under diverse livskriser. Mycket relaterbara händelser och inspirerande tankar. En bok om att hitta sig själv, att prioritera sig själv och att utmana sig själv. Rekommenderar den till i princip alla jag träffar.

  2. 5/5 Per

    En levande bok som tar en själv med sig genom livets kantiga resor. Det känns som att alla kan känna igen sig i de situationer som utspelar sig i såna magiska platser som New York - Rom - Indien - Bali. Vilken härlig känsla. En feel good bok på högsta nivå. Läs den och du kommer ett steg närmre din egna inre resa.

  3. 3/5 Sara E

    Trevlig bok med både ytligt och djupt innehåll. Mycket relaterbar huvudperson som inte skäms för att visa sig ur sina mindre smickrande vinklar. Ingen gudstro krävs för att uppskatta "pray"-delen. :)
