Title: Eat, Pray, Go Home
Review: This is my first taste of chick lit. I enjoyed immensely EATing, found PRAYing ponderous and self-important, and found LOVE just odd. So our heroine who speaks no Indonesian befriends a Balinese woman and then writes to her myriad of wealthy friends and buys her a house! Our heroine has a serious Santa Claus syndrome. What will the effect of acts like this be on your ordinary Balinese meeting foreigners? When I was in Nepal and American couple became so found of their Nepali porter that they brought him to live with them for a year. Santa Claus!Soon Bali will face a tsunami of EPL carrying divorcees bring their emotional baggage. I am in Ubud and I see them now and they want to buy villas. One woman I met has followed in our heroine's footsteps, spending four months in Italy, India and now Bali. The medicine man has been overrun with needy women hoping that he will provide them with a special someone. All I can say is that there is a lot of suffering out there.
