OVER 15 MILLIONS COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE ''Eat, Pray, Love has been passed from woman to woman like the secret of life'' Sunday Times It''s 3 a.m. and Elizabeth Gilbert is sobbing on the bathroom floor. She''s in her thirties, she has a husband, a house, they''re trying for a baby - and she doesn''t want any of it. A bitter divorce and a turbulent love affair later, she emerges battered and bewildered and realises it is time to pursue her own journey in search of three things she has been missing: pleasure, devotion and balance. So she travels to Rome, where she learns Italian from handsome, brown-eyed identical twins and gains twenty-five pounds, an ashram in India, where she finds that enlightenment entails getting up in the middle of the night to scrub the temple floor, and Bali where a toothless medicine man of indeterminate age offers her a new path to peace: simply sit still and smile. And slowly happiness begins to creep up on her.>

In her first non-fiction book in a decade, the #1 bestselling writer who taught millions of readers to live authentically (Eat Pray Love) and creatively (Big Magic) shows how to break free.
In 2000, Elizabeth Gilbert met Rayya. They became friends, then best friends, then inseparable. When tragedy entered their lives, the truth was finally laid bare: The two were in love. They were also a pair of addicts, on a collision course toward catastrophe.
What if your most beautiful love story turned into your biggest nightmare? What if the dear friend who taught you so much about your self-destructive tendencies became the unstable partner with whom you disastrously reenacted every one of them? And what if your most devastating heartbreak opened a pathway to your greatest awakening?
All the Way to the River is a landmark memoir that will resonate with anyone who has ever been captive to love - or to any other passion, substance, or craving - and who yearns, at long last, for liberation. -
THE MAGNIFICENT NEW NOVEL FROM THE NO. 1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR
In a remote, high-altitude corner of Siberia, a lone family of religious Russian fundamentalists have lived isolated and undetected for forty-four years. Since retreating in the 1930s from the dangers and comforts of the world, the parents and children have scrounged off the cold and unforgiving land, having no contact with any humans except each other. Untethered from human progress, unaware even of the events of WWII, their knowledge and beliefs have remained frozen in time, their lives devoted wholly to their faith and the hard work of survival. But their discovery in 1980 by a team of Soviet geologists will change all of that.
One unlikely woman - a scholar and linguist who has spent her life in a different kind of hiding - is sent to the family''s mountaintop to bridge the chasm between modern existence and their ancient, snow forest life. What she uncovers in that dangerous and beautiful wilderness will be stranger and more miraculous than anything she had ever expected, and will upturn her own quiet life forever.
Emerging from a place of beauty, awe and danger, The Snow Forest is the dramatic and inspiring story of a family who escapes the threats of early-twentieth-century Russia for a life of extreme, untouched wilderness. Beloved author Elizabeth Gilbert brings her formidable storytelling talents to the magnificent, magical extremes of the Siberian taiga and considers: how permeable, really, is the line between mankind and nature?>
