Event Info

Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of Eat, Pray, Love, will be talking about her life and writing for the first time in the UK at this exclusive Intelligence Squared event. Eat, Pray, Love is an international bestseller, which has sold seven million copies worldwide and is due for release as a film starring Julia Roberts.

Elizabeth Gilbert’s memoirs are the funny, tender, utterly beguiling story of a woman's search for happiness. Elizabeth is in her thirties, married and about to start a family. But she doesn’t want any of it. A divorce and a rebound fling later, she emerges battered yet determined to find what she’s been missing. So begins her quest – food in Italy, enlightenment in India and love in Bali. Having sworn off marriage forever, US immigration force her to choose between exile and somehow coming to terms with marriage again.

Eat, Pray, Love has been passed from woman to woman like the secret of life.’ Sunday Times

‘It is a testament to Elizabeth Gilbert’s writing skills, intellectual energy and self-deprecating wit that from the moment we meet her sobbing on her bathroom floor at 3am, we are rooting for her to find the peace and happiness she seeks.’ Daily Mail
