Elizabeth Gilbert is aware that her latest book may come as a surprise to some of her more casual fans. The writer became immensely famous - and wealthy - after her bestselling memoir Eat Pray Love, documenting her spiritual and emotional journey as she travelled while recovering from her (first) divorce. It sold millions of copies and became a feature film starring Julia Roberts as Gilbert.
But this wasn’t the end of Gilbert’s story, and All the Way to the River is a very different book. In it, Gilbert grapples with grief and addiction, and reveals one of the darkest moments of her life where she found herself planning to murder her girlfriend Rayya. Her girlfriend who was dying of cancer and relapsing into drug addiction.
