About this listen

 It's 3 a.m. and Elizabeth Gilbert is sobbing on the bathroom floor. She's in her 30s, 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 25pounds, 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.

Captivating story from start to finish. A compelling narrative that allows the reader to immerse themselves into the story. A great example of a memoir.

Authentic articulation of her journey

I loved it! The story is great and I believe that many of us can relate to it at some point of our lifes. It starts so sad, but at the end - it leaves you smiling for all the good things happening in our paths.

Where does Eat, Pray, Love rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Brilliant book - but I seem to remember reading a lot more of her story when I read the book some years ago. Why does it stop short?

What was one of the most memorable moments of Eat, Pray, Love?

The purchase of the land for the house.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, I was very relaxed about listening to it - picking it up when sewing or cooking and enjoying Gilbert's quiet voice.

Why stop there?

Loved this book and I finished it in a couple of days. Very elequent and narrated beautifully. I felt as though I was on the journey with Liz and was so glad it all ended well. Makes me dream of going on a retreat and just shows how important it is to have faith, to know and love yourself.

A normal person on life's journey of discovery

Great book nonetheless but would’ve preferred the whole of it. She is a gifted storyteller

A little disappointing that this is an abridged version

What an inspiring story, full with wisdom, if you’re open for it. It made me go back to yoga and live more in the moment :) I loved the way it is narrated; I could imagine myself being there.

Inspiring story, well read

Great narration, like the film but more interesting, makes you think about life and purpose

Love it

Loved listening to Liz narrate her story. It made me reflect and think about life but also really laugh out loud at times. Humorous, genuine, heartfelt storytelling

Absolutely loved this!
