When the U.S. government forces Elizabeth Gilbert and her Brazilian-born partner to wed, the bestselling memoirist must confront her deep-seated marriage phobia. Diving into the history and psychology of this ancient institution, Gilbert unpacks her own complex feelings around commitment. With her signature blend of humor and insight, she reconciles the romantic ideal with the messy realities of adult life. "Committed" is a clear-eyed celebration of love, in all its complexity.
