Book overview - All the way to the river: Love, Loss and Liberation, Elizabeth Gilbert

All the way to the river: Love, Loss and Liberation, Elizabeth Gilbert, Jonathan Ball Publishers, ISBN: 9781526654564

“I wanted to chronicle the love, grief, confusion, wildness and transformation that I experienced around the death of my partner Rayya Elias” – Elizabeth Gilbert

Twenty years ago, Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat Pray Love inspired millions of readers to embark upon their own journeys of self-discovery. A decade later, Big Magic empowered countless others to live their most creative lives. Now comes another landmark book – about love and loss, addiction and recovery, grief and liberation.

What if the love of your life – and the person you most trusted in the world – became a danger to your sanity and well-being? What if the dear friend who taught you so much about your self-destructive tendencies became the unstable partner with whom you disastrously re-enacted 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 for everyone who has ever been captive to love – or to any other passion, substance, or craving – and who yearns, at long last, for peace and freedom.
