One Woman''s Search for Everything
Erscheinungsjahr: 2007
Gewicht: 212 gr / Abmessung: 18 cm
Von Gilbert, Elizabeth

A funny, tender, utterly beguiling story about a woman''s search for happiness.

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.
