'Eat, Pray, Love' inspires readers to find themselves
A 30-something divorcée sells her house, packs up her life and sets off for Italy to "find herself." This isn't a new concept. We've seen it in countless books, such as Frances Mayes' "Under the Tuscan Sun," or a similar male version in Peter Mayle's "A Good Year." However, Elizabeth Gilbert, author of "Eat, Pray, Love," gives this classic story a refreshing and heartfelt twist.
