This is a less pretentious and down to earth Eat Pray Love. Substitute a temple in India for a motel in Minnesota. Tried this book when I was 24 or so and barely made it a chapter. Now, after being married and a mother, it spoke to me differently - and mostly about my mother. Once in awhile I stumbled into a passage or idea that is devastatingly relatable to my life that I gave a little frightened gasp. Any mother and wife who, while acknowledging their privilege, has ever searched for meaning in the day to day monotony of life can relate to Nan.
