Talk, Q&A, and
Signing
At the end of her bestselling memoir, Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth
Gilbert fell in love with Felipe, a Brazilian-born man of Australian
citizenship who'd been living in Indonesia when they met. Resettling in
America, the couple swore eternal fidelity to each other, but also
swore to never, ever under any circumstances get legally married. (Both
were survivors of previous horrific divorces. Enough said.) But
providence intervened one day in the form of the United States
government, which - after unexpectedly detaining Felipe at the American
border crossing - gave the couple a choice: they could either get
married, or Felipe would never be allowed to enter the country again. In this sequel to her best-selling memoir, Gilbert looks for guidelines historically and internationally as she reflects how to approach this institution differently her second time around.
