    <![CDATA[  This beautifully written, heartfelt memoir touched a nerve among both readers and reviewers.   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. By turns rapturous and   rueful, this wise and funny author (whom <em>Booklist</em> calls &quot;Anne Lamott’s hip, yoga-  practicing, footloose younger sister&quot;) is poised to garner yet more adoring fans.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Wow, this book took me on a roller-coaster ride. I couldn't decide if I loved it or hated it and it seemed like every few pages I'd go from thinking Gilbert was delightfully witty to thinking this was the most horribly self-absorbed person to ever set foot on the earth. <br/><br/>In the end the ov...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12928493">more...</a>]]></body>
