About This Book
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 bad 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.
