This might sound like something straight out of a cheesy movie, but there is no denying this woman's hopes, her dreams, and mostly, her fears are living in most of us.
She travels first to Italy where she arrives hollow and thin, mentally and physically drained and teetering on the brink of a depression that has never seemed to be far away. Her physical condition acts as a metaphor for the spiritual journey that she will undertake on her travels to redeem her self-confidence.
In Rome, she eats the finest pizzas and pastas in the world. And with a measure of red wine and good company, she soon fills out in waist and soul. A rich description of every dough ball consumed helps you live vicariously through Elizabeth and delight in the pleasure that sometimes only good food can bring.
Next she moves to an Ashram in India where she embraces her spirituality and through meditation and yoga, looks into her darkest self to find her god.
Lastly, it is to the paradise of Bali where she inevitably starts to look for love, and here she completes her journey by learning to love herself.
While this book might be too winsome for some readers, I enjoyed it, and through her journey you learn that it is only when you look to your darkest self that you learn how to embrace the light and eventually be your true self.
