Eat, Pray, Love (bwl 60) ended with Elizabeth and a Brazilian-born Australian settling in America, swearing eternal love but never to marry. Then he is refused re-entry unless they do. This causes them to re-access their traumas and rediscover themselves and their mutual confidence. Included is a reflection on marriage customs in different countries and cultures and what can be expected of a permanent, loving union. As honest and illuminating as its predecessor - and oh so human.
