　　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 survivors of difficult divorces. Enough said.) But providence

intervened one day in the form of the U.S. government, who -- after

unexpectedly detaining Felipe at an American border crossing --

gave the couple a choice: they could either get married, or Felipe

would never be allowed to enter the country again. Having been

effectively sentenced to wed, Gilbert tackled her fears of marriage

by delving completely into this topic, trying with all her might to

discover (through historical research, interviews and much personal

reflection) what this stubbornly enduring old institution actually

is. The result is "Committed" - a witty and intelligent

contemplation of marriage that debunks myths, unthreads fears and

suggests that sometimes even the most romantic of souls must trade

in her amorous fantasies for the humbling responsibility of

adulthood. Gilbert's memoir -- destined to become a cherished

handbook for any thinking person hovering on the verge of marriage

-- is ultimately a clear-eyed celebration of love, with all the

complexity and consequence that real love, in the real world,

actually entails.

媒体评论

　　'Like Eat, Pray, Love, her follow-up, Committed, feels

irresistibly confessional ... I found myself guzzling Committed,

reading it in mighty chunks, far into the night. Whenever I put it

down, it was pinched by my mother or sister.'

　　--Sunday Times

　　‘An unblinkered consideration of what marriage really

means.'

　　--Woman & Home

　　'Gilbert delves deep into the history and cultural meanings of

marriage, as well as into her own relationship.'

　　--Financial Times

　　‘Insightful ... She speaks for many who question the bliss in

conjugal bonds, or, at least, those who want to understand how the

tradition still perpetuates. For better or worse.'

　　--Vogue
