Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace With Marriage By Elizabeth Gilbert

Our book of the month is Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace With Marriage  by Elizabeth Gilbert as recommended by Lynda Fraser in North Vancouver B.C. 

Yummy Mummy Lynda says...

“Written by same author as Eat Pray Love, Committed continues the deep sense of spirituality that I experienced with her other book.”


Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage: Elizabeth Gilbert’s new book, begins where her bestseller Eat, Pray, Love ended—just after Gilbert fell in love with Felipe, a Brazilian-born man of Australian citizenship who’d been living in Indonesia when they met. Resettling in America, the couple swore eternal fidelity to each other, but also swore to never, ever, under any circumstances get legally married. But providence intervened one day in the form of the U.S. government, which—after unexpectedly detaining Felipe at an American border crossing—gave the couple a choice: they could either get married, or Felipe would never be allowed to enter the country again.

Eat, Pray, Love:  An intensely articulate, moving, and funny memoir of self-discovery, both entertaining and engrossing, Eat, Pray, Love is about what can happen when you claim responsibility for your own contentment and stop trying to live in imitation of society’s ideals.
