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-destructivetendencies 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.
(Review)
Praise for All the Way to The River:
Classic Gilbert: entertaining, insightful, wrenching, self-effacing, self-indulgent and profoundly real. Its strongest scenes, of Gilbert and partner Rayya Elias s beyond-beautiful and then beyond-ugly interactions, are punch-to-the-gut powerful She furthers the enduring women s crusade to split the world open. The Washington Post
A blockbuster: brutally honest, lurid, transcendent, and compelling Gilbert is undoubtedly a force. Boston Globe
A loving tribute to Elias, an unfiltered descent into substance abuse, and an intimate look at Gilbert s hard fought road to recovery. TIME
What makes this book worthy is the author s fierce self-reckoning: There s no easy triumph, just more hard work. Los Angeles Times
