She, too, had gone through a marriage break-up and painful divorce.Īlone in Rome: Liz Jones (left) and Julia Roberts (right) as Liz Gilbert Liz has a dry, self-deprecating wit and, yes, is worryingly like me. Written by travel journalist Liz Gilbert, it’s a wonderful book. ‘You’ll find it all a bit egomaniacally navel-gazing, but by travelling to Rome, India and Bali, she put on weight, found happiness - and another husband! You must read it!”Īnd so I read it. ‘Liz, you must buy a copy of Eat Pray Love - the author is exactly like you!’ typed one woman from Wickford in Essex, surely the last place on earth you’d expect to find someone taken in by yet another globe-trotting self-help tome. When I was at my lowest ebb two years ago - mourning for my marriage, barely able to get out of bed, unable to sleep, mired in money worries, harbouring suicidal thoughts - I received hundreds of almost identical emails from women all over the world. So what happened when we sent our own walking midlife crisis in her self-help footsteps? It's the most talked-about film of the year: a divorcee's epic search around the world for inner peace.
