Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert


Price: RM20 (free shipping within Malaysia)
Condition: Used

At the end of Eat, Pray, Love Elizabeth Gilbert fell in love with Felipe, a Brazilian-born Australian citizen. Resettling in America, they swore eterna...l fidelity, but also (each survivor of a divorce. Enough said) swore never, ever, to get married. But when providence intervened in the form of the US government, they faced a start choice: either marry, or Felipe could never return to the US. Effectively sentenced to wed, Gilbert delves into the subject of marriage and, debunking myths, unthreading fears, celebrating love, suggests that sometimes even the most romantic of souls must trade in amorous fantasies for the humbling responsibility of adulthood.

Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert


Price: RM20 (free shipping within Malaysia)
Condition: Used

It's 3 a.m. and Elizabeth Gilbert is sobbing on the bathroom floori. She's in her thirties, she has a husband, a house, they're trying for a baby -... 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; to an ashram in India, where she fiends that enlightenment entails getting up in the middle of the night to scrub the temple floor and to Bali where 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.
