Elizabeth Gilbert of bestselling memoir Eat, Pray, Love fame is back, sharing the story of what happened after her last book concluded.
At the end of Eat, Pray, Love, we left Gilbert happily ensconced on Bali having a steamy love affair with Brazilian-born Felipe. However, soon afterward the couple relocate to the US, completely committed to each other and the relationship, but swearing never to officially marry: both have nasty divorces in their past so marriage is declared absolutely off the table. That is, until immigration officials get involved.
When Felipe is told he won’t be able to stay in the states unless they marry, their hands are tied. Being the woman she is, Gilbert doesn’t just mindlessly tie the knot, but instead delves deeply into the ideology and history of marriage, bringing her intelligent and funny insights to bear on this timeless institution that affects all of our lives, one way or another.
