À propos de cet audio

 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 were survivors of previous horrific divorces. Enough said.) But providence intervened one day in the form of the United States government, which—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 into this topic completely, trying with all her might to discover through historical research, interviews, and much personal reflection what this stubbornly enduring old institution actually is. Told with Gilbert's trademark wit, intelligence and compassion, Committed attempts to "turn on all the lights" when it comes to matrimony, frankly examining questions of compatibility, infatuation, fidelity, family tradition, social expectations, divorce risks and humbling responsibilities. Gilbert's memoir 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 Penguin

Brava to dear Elizabeth Gilbert for her beautifully written and recorded memoir about love, divorce, career,spirituality,family and different cultural observations. I have penned two autobiographies and also recorded an audiobook on Audible after enjoying an amazing international career in music, and also went through marriage and divorce , so I obviously related to many of her experiences on a personal level, but believe many readers men or women who have not had such blessings and recognition will relate too. Please excuse if this writing is filled with mistakes as I am dictating and finding it hard to correct! I am recommending Elizabeth’s book to all my friends. Liona Boyd

This book is a must-read for anyone who has experienced the challenges and complexities of the immigration system, especially those navigating the process of marrying for love across borders. Gilbert’s heartfelt exploration offers a relatable and insightful perspective on love, commitment, and the bureaucratic hurdles that often accompany international relationships.

Love it

Loved it and all the history of civil and religious unions. What it means to different cultures and how we marry for love in canada… it’s all about love.

Read before getting married hehe

Good combination of storytelling and fact sharing, worth the credit. Didn't love the narration, but was authentic as it was told in her own voice.

Interesting and informative
