Commited, a love story – Elizabeth Gilbert

Committed: A Love Story by Elizabeth Gilbert is a memoir in which Gilbert explores her evolving views on marriage. Following the success of Eat, Pray, Love, the book focuses on her relationship with Felipe, the man she fell in love with during her travels.
