After finalizing her divorce, 32-year-old Elizabeth Gilbert (Roberts) receives an advance for a book she plans to write while visiting three foreign countries. She spends four months eating her way through Italy, four months seeking spirituality in India, and finally four months in Indonesia, where she finds love. Adapted from Gilbert’s bestselling memoir, Oprah went gaga for this tome, though to paraphrase Jennifer Egan’s review in The New York Times: it’s a low stakes story that we know ends happily from the outset. Could be just what the doctor ordered for light summer fare.
