    <![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[I had a very love/give-me-a-break relationship with this book, so I had to give it a week or so before writing a review to let it settle. I began the book on an optimistic note, then quickly became annoyed with the long, rambling chapters justifying the author's use of the word &quot;God&quot; and h...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2008692">more...</a>]]></body>
