About this listen

Bloomsbury presents All the Way to the River, written and read by Elizabeth Gilbert.

In her first non-fiction book in a decade, the no. 1 bestselling writer who taught millions of readers to live authentically (Eat Pray Love) and creatively (Big Magic) shows how to break free.

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

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.©2025 Elizabeth Gilbert (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc

Critic Reviews

Heart-breaking, sometimes harrowing, but with profound honesty, Elizabeth Gilbert asks us to hope. No one who reads this book will ever forget it (Meg Mason)
An absolute masterclass and truth-bomb of a memoir, packed with rawness, courage and poetry. I feel changed by it. The deepest truest manifesto I’ve ever read on recovery, addiction, facing yourself and what it means to belong. I think many people will be shaken awake by this book (Emma Gannon)
