Pilgrims by Elizabeth Gilbert
Now Elizabeth Gilbert's thousands of UK fans can enjoy her very first book - a collection of short stories of memorable individuals pursuing their own American pilgrimage
‘Gilbert takes us on a grit-strewn ride into the heart of Country and Western territory: good old boys, cowgirls, dingy bars, the backwaters and empty plains of America' * Sunday Times *
The distinctive cant of Gilbert's stories recalls the off-kilter worlds of TCoraghessan Boyle, and she embraces the bizarre and fabulous with similar enthusiasm ... But blunt summaries capture none of Gilbert's subtlety. Whether trashing those on high or celebrating those below, she moves stealthily, avoiding the temptation to grandstand, moralize or, especially, patronize * New York Times Book Review *
The heroes of Pilgrims, Elizabeth Gilbert's gimmickless story collection, are everyday seekers...This first-time writer has all the hallmarks of a great writer: sympathy, wit, and an amazing ear for dialogue * Harper's Bazaar *
‘A superior collection of stories about women who are as tough as they look, though perhaps not quite as tough as they think they are' * Glamour *
