A friend told me about “reading weekends” where you gather pals, go to a cabin, put on cozy clothes and spend the days curled up together reading the same book and then discuss it over meals. We’re going to do that in September with your book Liz ❤️ 📚 It feels appropriate ☺️

Ok let me order this now! Hurrah! Sounds amazing!

I hope reading it will set you free in the way that writing it did for me. I hope you hear Rayya in the text in the way that she has been speaking to me for years.

Done. And I can’t wait. 💛

This book is about the darker side of spiritual, emotional, and physical hunger and how lost we can become in the endless search for connection and satisfaction. And it is about the pathway out of that desperation, through the liberation of a more nourishing way of life.

In the end, it was incredibly healing to be able to come to peace with the past, and to feel that Rayya would have approved of this narrative, too.

I have actually been trying to write a book about Rayya since the day she died, back in January 2018. It took years of therapy, grief, confusion, recovery, and sobriety for me to even be able to understand all that had happened between us, and why.

Then tragedy entered our lives, and we were forced to admit a deeper truth: we were in love. What we didn’t admit was that we were also a pair of addicts, on a collision course toward catastrophe. This book is about her. It is about me. It is about us. It is about you.

I’ve written a new book, called ALL THE WAY TO THE RIVER, and it will be coming out this September.

In 2000, a friend sent me to see a new hairdresser named Rayya Elias. You all know my Rayya. Over the years, we became friends, then best friends, then inseparable.

It sounds remarkable, and exactly what I need to read right now. I shall order a copy when I have sent this message. As it’s quiet round here, for the moment, I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank you for your life and your work.

Eat Pray Love was definitely part of the WH Murray and Goethe minestrone that spurred me on to go scurrying around Europe writing about festivals all those years ago, my god, where do they go? And I will always be grateful for that. Anyhow, love you. Love your work. Long may you continue. X

Couldn't find the new one to preorder so ordered three old ones instead. Big Magic, City of Girls and The Signature of All Things. I'm really looking forward to it.
