"A wonderful book, brilliant and personal, rich in spiritual insight."
--Anne Lamott--
"This insightful, funny account of her travels reads like a mix of Susan Orlean and Frances Mayes."
--Entertainment Weekly--
"If a more likable writer than Gilbert is currently in print, I haven't found him or her...Gilbert's prose is fueled by a mix of intelligence, wit, and colloquial exuberance that is close to irresistible."
--The New York Times Book Review--
