Oblong Books in Partnership with Bardavon Presents Elizabeth Gilbert

Number 1 bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert taught millions of readers to live authentically (Eat Pray Love) and creatively (Big Magic). In her first nonfiction book in a decade, she now shows us how to break free. 

All the Way to the River is a landmark memoir that will resonate with anyone who has ever been captive to love—or to any other passion, substance, or craving – and who yearns, at long last, for liberation. 

In 2000, Elizabeth Gilbert met Rayya. They became friends, then best friends, then inseparable. When tragedy entered their lives, the truth was finally laid bare: The two were in love. They were also a pair of addicts, on a collision course toward catastrophe. What if your most beautiful love story turned into your biggest nightmare? What if the dear friend who taught you so much about your self-destructive tendencies became the unstable partner with whom you disastrously reenacted every one of them?…
