Eat, Pray, Love - Staff Favorite


TITLE: Eat, Pray, Love

AUTHOR: Elizabeth Gilbert

CALL NO.: Interlibrary Loan

Being the youth librarian I typically read about one adult book a year and the rest of my time is spent reading juvenile and teen literature. But if Eat, Pray, Love is the only adult novel I read this year it was the best choice I could make. It was a long stretch from my typical reading choice – non-fiction, adult, and spiritual, not any of my normal venues for fun reading. But I loved it! Thank you to my friend who recommended it, she knows who she is.

Liz, the author and subject of the book is a 34 year old woman in crisis. Her life is not taking the path she thought it would. So following a messy divorce she decides to follow her heart to do some world traveling to discover who she is and what she wants. What follows is her emotional and spiritual self discovery. A very interesting, well written biography.
