AN OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK
"A delicious mashup of narrative that's by turns harrowing and healing." –People
“Entertaining, insightful, wrenching … punch-to-the-gut powerful.” –The Washington Post
“A blockbuster: brutally honest, lurid, transcendent, and compelling…Gilbert is undoubtedly a force.” —Boston Globe
In her first nonfiction book in a decade, the #1 bestselling writer who taught millions of readers to live authentically (Eat Pray Love) and creatively (Big Magic) shows how to break free.
In 2000, Elizabeth Gilbert met Rayya. They became friends, then best friends, then inseparable. When tragedy entered their lives, the truth was finally laid bare: The two were in love. They were also a pair of addicts, on a collision course toward catastrophe.
What if your most beautiful love story turned into your biggest nightmare? What if the dear friend who taught you so much about your self-destructive tendencies became the unstable partner with whom you disastrously reenacted every one of them? And what if your most devastating heartbreak opened a pathway to your greatest awakening?
All the Way to the River is a landmark memoir that will resonate with anyone who has ever been captive to love—or to any other passion, substance, or craving—and who yearns, at long last, for liberation.
Reviews
Soul level Beautiful, Raw and Honest
5By nehanazir94This has to be one of the most tender, humbling and gorgeous books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. This book found me. Spoke to me in so many ways, served as a mirror to me. And it is indeed a beautiful portrait of unconditional love. I loved the drawings and the poems. And the deeply spiritual undertones. Must read!
