Elizabeth Gilbert is the acclaimed author of five books of fiction and non-fiction. She attended New York University, where she studied political science by day and worked on her short stories by night. She is best known for her 2006 bestseller Eat, Pray, Love, which has sold over ten million copies worldwide and was adapted into a film. Her short story collection Pilgrims was nominated for the PEN/Hemingway Award, her novel Stern Men was a New York Times Notable Book and The Last American Man, her biography of Eustace Conway, was a finalist for the National Book Award. Her 2010 book Committed was a Number One New York Times bestseller. She was nominated for the Wellcome Book Prize 2014 for her novel The Signature of All Things. It is a big novel about a big century, soaring across the globe from London, to Peru, to Philadelphia, to Tahiti, to Amsterdam. Peopled with extraordinary characters – missionaries, abolitionists, adventurers, astronomers, sea captains, geniuses and the quite mad – most of all it has an unforgettable heroine in Alma Whittaker, a woman of the Enlightened Age who stands defiantly on the cusp of the modern.
