In this memoir, Elizabeth Gilbert tells how she made the difficult choice to leave behind all the trappings of modern American success (marriage, house in the country, career) and find, instead, what she truly wanted from life.

*Soon to be a major motion picture starring Cate Blanchett*A whip-smart, hysterical dramedy about a family in crisis after the disappearance of its brilliant, misanthropic matriarch. Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom.Then Bernadette disappears. It began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette's intensifying allergy to Seattle--and people in general--has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands. A trip to the end of the earth is problematic.To find her mother, Bee compiles email messages, official documents, secret correspondence--creating a compulsively readable and touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter's role in an absurd world.

Sie sind beide Aussenseiter, aber grundverschieden: Die pummelige Eleanor und der gut aussehende, aber zurückhaltende Park. Als er ihr im Schulbus den Platz neben sich frei macht, halten sie wenig voneinander. Park liest demonstrativ und Eleanor ist froh, ignoriert zu werden. In der Schule ist sie das Opfer übler Mobbing-Attacken und zu Hause hat sie mit vier Geschwistern und einem tyrannischen Stiefvater nur Ärger. Doch als sie beginnt, Parks Comics mitzulesen, entwickelt sich ein Dialog zwischen den beiden. Zögerlich tauschen sie Kassetten, Meinungen und Vorlieben aus. Dass sie sich ineinander verlieben, scheint unmöglich. Doch ihre Annäherung gehört zum Intensivsten, was man über die erste Liebe lesen kann.
