Después de un divorcio traumático seguido de un desengaño amoroso y en plena crisis emocional y espiritual, Elizabeth Gilbert decide empezar de nuevo y emprende un largo viaje que la llevará sucesivamente a Italia, la India e Indonesia, tres escalas geográficas que se corresponden con otras tantas etapas de búsqueda interior.
Lúcida y valiente novela autobiográfica que ha sido un gran éxito de ventas desde su publicación en Estados Unidos, Come, reza, ama trata de lo que ocurre cuando decidimos ser artÃfices de nuestra felicidad y dejamos de intentar vivir según los modelos que nos imponen.
Si hoy en dÃa se está publicando literatura más agradable que la de Gilbert, nosotros no la hemos encontrado. Su prosa mezcla de inteligencia, ingenio y exuberancia coloquial se acerca a lo irresistible y hace que el lector se sienta encantado de unirse al grupo de amigos y devotos que ya tienen el placer de conocerla
The New York Times Book Review
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION At the age of thirty-one, Gilbert moved with her husband to the suburbs of New York and began trying to get pregnant, only to realize that she wanted neither a child nor a husband. Three years later, after a protracted divorce, she embarked on a yearlong trip of recovery, with three main stops: Rome, for pleasure (mostly gustatory, with a special emphasis on gelato); an ashram outside of Mumbai, for spiritual searching; and Bali, for balancing. These destinations are all on the beaten track, but Gilbert's exuberance and her self-deprecating humor enliven the proceedings: recalling the first time she attempted to speak directly to God, she says, It was all I could do to stop myself from saying, 'I've always been a big fan of your work.' -The New Yorker(c)
Gilbert's prose is fueled by a mix of intelligence, wit and colloquial exuberance that is close to irresistible. -The New York Times Book Review
A meditation on love in its many forms--love of food, language, humanity, God, and most meaningful for Gilbert, love of self. -Los Angeles Times
