All the Way to the River: Love, Loss, and Liberation
Elizabeth Gilbert
Elizabeth Gilbert has been an iconic memoirist since her massive hit Eat Pray Love landed on bookshelves nearly 20 years ago. She scored another cultural bullseye with Big Magic in 2015.
Now, in All the Way to the River: Love, Loss, and Liberation, she offers a candid and emotional reckoning on what it means to forgive oneself and other people. It's a love story, although not one drawn in soft-focus romantic tones. Instead, Gilbert unravels the story of her profound and life-altering relationship with a charismatic, vehemently independent artist and musician. It's a harrowing, vital, and ultimately transcendent exploration of fierce love, codependency, and grief. The lessons learned from these experiences are hard-won and devoid of platitudes.
