by Elizabeth Gilbert 

Elizabeth Gilbert is yet again personable, pithy, witty and informative in this sequel to her hugely successful bestseller, Eat, Pray, Love. Sentenced to marriage in order that her Brazilian partner may continue to live with her in New Jersey, America, Elizabeth undertakes a thorough investigation of the subject throughout history and across continents and cultures and from both the practical and the emotional stand points. She writes of love in all its guises, of what commitment means and entails, of fidelity and betrayal and of where religion meshes – or perhaps doesn’t – with the marriage contract. With all the facts at her fingertips, does Elizabeth decide that marriage is a good choice? You’ll have to read the book!
