January Book Club Meeting

January Book Club Meeting:

Host: Lucille

Book: Eat, Pray, Love, by Elizabeth Gilbert

Response of the Book Club Members: Everyone thought the first half of the Elizabeth Gilbert's memoir of divorcing her husband and spending a year "off" traveling to Italy, India and Indonesia was the best part of the book. Maybe it was because everyone could relate better to travel in Italy than either in India or Indonesia. Most everyone agreed that very few women going thru a divorce have the means to just take a year off and travel like Elizabeth did. In that regard many thought that Elizabeth's reactions and comments to leaving her husband were not typical. Some of the readers thought that maybe she protest too mush and suffers from priveleged rich girl status.
