Liz Gilbert is BACK — better than ever!!

My Dearest {NAME}, Can we overcome the consequences of our worst choices? Can our creative work thrive not in spite of, but because of, our hardest, most painful experiences? Elizabeth Gilbert’s response... a resounding YES! She wrote her new novel, City of Girls, while caring for the love of her life, Rayya, who passed away last January. “What am I going to do now?” Liz asked herself. “How am I going to create safety and the feeling of being seen in a Rayya-less world? Interesting challenge.” City of Girls was her answer. Set in the 1940’s New York theater scene, her new novel tackles the antiquated idea of a ‘ruined woman.’ Like her other mega hits, it’s pure delight. In this moving conversation, Elizabeth inspires us to treat every setback as a creative challenge. You’ll also discover: - Why desire is just as important as consent when it comes to female sexuality. - An inside look into Elizabeth Gilbert's writing process (spoiler: she doesn’t know the story ahead of time). - What four years of meticulous book research actually looks like. - Why the opposite of depression isn’t happiness. - And the surprising daily habit that helped her metabolize grief.
