Eat, Pray, Love - Elizabeth Gilbert

Elizabeth Gilbert tells how she made the difficult choice to leave behind all the trappings of modern American success (marriage, house in the country, career) and find, instead, what she truly wanted from life. Setting out for a year to study three different aspects of her nature amid three different cultures, Gilbert explored the art of pleasure in Italy and the art of devotion in India, and then a balance between the two on the Indonesian island of Bali.

A woman decides she doesn't want to be married anymore and wants to learn Italian; this is the first step in Liz Gilbert's new life. She eats herself through Italy and then departs for an ashram in India. She ends up in Indonesia where she finds love again. All the makings of a romance novel, yet this is a memoir. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would, hence the 4 stars.

Read for the PopSugar 2023 Reading Challenge.
