By host Tom Ashbrook:
Across every woman’s life falls the shadow of a sword, wrote Virgina Woolf. On one side lie tradition and order, where “all is correct.” On the other, a life that does not follow convention. And there, wrote Woolf “all is confusion.”
That’s where writer Elizabeth Gilbert set her compass. She was a professional woman, in her mid-30s, limping out of a failed marriage, a brutal divorce and a flamed-out love affair.
Elizabeth Gilbert hit the big road in a desperate search for redemption and herself. She went to Italy and the pleasures, to India and devotion, to Bali and rebirth. Not a bad trip, if you can swing it, and she has, in a big, big way.
Soul seeker Elizabeth Gilbert talks about her new book “Eat, Pray, Love.”
