This brilliant novel was written by Elizabeth Gilbert about a long travel through Italy, India and ending the year in Indonesia (Bali). She describes how she tastes wonderful food such as spaghetti in Italy with such pure delightfulness with delicious toppings that you can just feel along your tongue. Spending around 3 months there learning the Italian language and how the language is like music floating through your soul. Afterwards she lands herself in India by calming her nerves with praying day in and day out from 3am till 10pm. Sometimes she ends up locked in her room by her room mate and climbing out the windows, landing in some bushes, bleeding endlessly but yet needs to go and pray her heart out. The journey slowly comes to an end in Bali, where she re-meets the man who taught her of her knowledge and the bumps in the road along her life.
I recommend this novel for anyone who likes to take a break and loves food. I really enjoyed this book because it's like a biography and yet is like an adventure. How there is one escape from reality and you can go along the road just exploring yourself and finding who you really are instead of relying on someone else all the time.
