eat, pray, love is the story of Liz and the year she takes to discover herself. She spends basically 4 months each in Italy, for pleasure; in India, for for spirituality; and Indonesia/Bali, for , for, . . . she isn't sure What for!
Liz has just come out of a painful divorce, instigated by her and she gives him everything, and she wants this time to recover. She eats and learns Italian and eats and eats in Italy, enjoying herself. She does think quite a bit about sex while there, even though she has decided to be celibate this year. She then travels to India and spends the time at her Guru's ashram. She learns different things about meditation and herself, and thinks more and more about sex. She moves on to Bali, and discovers balance, and thinks about sex. She does find love, a lover, in Bali, and they go home together.
ALthough there are interesting observations about the countries and peoples and cultures, there is way too much sex in this book. I found it hard to finish the book, as I do not like to read about other people's, or my!, sex experiences. The book Is well written, and seems to be very popular.
