À propos de ce titre
 Bloomsbury presents Committed written and read by Elizabeth Gilbert.
________________

'Like Eat, Pray, Love, her follow-up ... feels irresistibly confessional ... I found myself guzzling Committed, reading it in mighty chunks, far into the night. Whenever I put it down, it was pinched by my mother or sister' – Sunday Times

‘An unblinkered consideration of what marriage really means' – Woman & Home

'Gilbert delves deep into the history and cultural meanings of marriage, as well as into her own relationship' – Financial Times

‘Insightful ... She speaks for many who question the bliss in conjugal bonds, or, at least, those who want to understand how the tradition still perpetuates. For better or worse' – Vogue
________________

At the end of her bestselling memoir Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert fell in love with Felipe – a Brazilian-born man of Australian citizenship who'd been living in Indonesia when they met. Resettling in America, the couple swore eternal fidelity to each other, but also swore to never, ever, under any circumstances get legally married (Both survivors of difficult divorces. Enough said.) But providence intervened one day in the form of the U.S. government, who – after unexpectedly detaining Felipe at an American border crossing – gave the couple a choice: they could either get married, or Felipe would never be allowed to enter the country again.

Having been effectively sentenced to wed, Gilbert tackled her fears of marriage by delving completely into this topic, trying with all her might to discover (through historical research, interviews and much personal reflection) what this stubbornly enduring old institution actually is. The result is Committed – a witty and intelligent contemplation of marriage that debunks myths, unthreads fears and suggests that sometimes even the most romantic of souls must trade in her amorous fantasies for the humbling responsibility of adulthood.

Gilbert's memoir – destined to become a cherished handbook for any thinking person hovering on the verge of marriage – is ultimately a clear-eyed celebration of love, with all the complexity and consequence that real love, in the real world, actually entails.©2010 Elizabeth Gilbert (P)2010 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Unterhaltung & Stars

I love Liz Gilbert's voice to begin with. The content of the book is helpful to me since I am getting married again soon. The research on marriages in different countries are very interesting.

Great Book

..write a book about Lemons, Lemonade, and the Love of Lemonade.

Elizabeth Gilbert has the enviable ability to turn everyday musings (and the occasional not-so-everyday experience) into poetry. Her actual voice is as soft and dreamy as her narrative voice. One can only hope she will continue to record her audiobooks herself — no one speaks quite like Liz.

I plan to work my way through all her books now and can hardly wait.

When Life Gives You Lemons…

Elizabeth Gilbert takes us on a wild journey, dissecting the institution of mariage through time and space. Going myself through a divorce, I found this book extremely interesting and could relate to her impression on the whole ordeal of marriage and relationships. I am a huge fan of this author and really enjoyed listening to her voice on my way to work every day.

A reflection on love
