All The Way To The River

by Elizabeth Gilbert | 25 September 2025
Hardback

An essential, universally resonant new memoir from the number one bestselling author of Eat Pray Love and Big Magic
What if your most beautiful love story turned into your biggest nightmare?

Twenty years ago, Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat Pray Love inspired millions of readers to embark upon their own journeys of self-discovery. A decade later, Big Magic empowered countless others to live their most creative lives. Now comes another landmark book – about love and loss, addiction and recovery, grief and liberation. In 2000, a friend sent Liz to see a new hairdresser named Rayya Elias.

An intense and unlikely curiosity sparked between these two apparent opposites: Rayya, an East Village badass who lived boldly on her terms but feared she was a failed artist; Liz, a married people-pleaser with a surprisingly unfettered sense of creativity. Over the years, they became friends, then best friends, then inseparable.

When tragedy entered their lives, the truth was finally laid bare: the two were in love. Unacknowledged: they were also a pair of addicts, on a collision course toward catastrophe. What if the love of your life – and the person you most trusted in the world – became a danger to your sanity and well-being?

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? And what if your most devastating heartbreak opened a pathway to your greatest awakening?

All the Way to the River is for everyone who has ever been captive to love – or to any other passion, substance, or craving – and who yearns, at long last, for peace and freedom.
