Adapted from Elizabeth Gilbert’s blockbuster global bestseller *Eat, Pray, Love*, which has sold over 7 million copies worldwide, the story follows a heroine who has everything that women around the world envy—husband, career, and a house—but still feels emotionally unfulfilled. The shock of her divorce leads her to let go of everything and embark on a spiritual journey of self-discovery. From Italian cuisine to Indian spirituality, the heroine ultimately finds inner peace and love in  Ubud.
