Our view
“Eat, Pray, Love” is a memoir of travel through Italy, India and Indonesia after a divorce, told with humour in an easy, confiding voice. Some readers enjoy the glimpses of other cultures and the questions it raises about how to live. Others tire of a narrator so occupied with herself, or find that little of the book stays with them afterwards. A pleasant read for those in sympathy with her quest.
