By Elizabeth Gilbert Rs 798
An Australian citizen, Felipe, the Brazilian businessman Gilbert fell in love with in Bali, was living with her in the U.S. on a visa-to-visa basis until Homeland Security denied him reentry.
As post-traumatic-divorce syndrome sufferers, they swore never to remarry, but marry they must if they want to be together in the States. This effort involves a humongous amount of red tape and time, so they set off on a trip across Southeast Asia, and Gilbert tries to banish her fears by embarking on a crash course in the history, practice, and meaning of marriage.
Her far-roaming inquiry, much of it focused on the paradoxes in women’s lives is presumptuous and trite one moment and incisive and funny the next. Ultimately, she tells an irresistibly romantic tale spiked with unusual and resonant insights into love and marriage
Open: An Autobiography By Andre Agassi
Rs 638
Far more than a superb memoir about the highest levels of professional tennis, Open is the engrossing story of a remarkable life.
Andre Agassi had his life mapped out for him before he left the crib. Groomed to be a tennis champion by his moody and demanding father, by the age of twenty-two Agassi had won the first of his eight grand slams and achieved wealth, celebrity, and the game’s highest honors.
But as he reveals in this searching autobiography, off the court he was often unhappy and confused, unfulfilled by his great achievements in a sport he had come to resent. Agassi writes candidly about his early success and his uncomfortable relationship with fame, his marriage to Brooke Shields, his growing interest in philanthropy, and—described in haunting, point-by-point detail—the highs and lows of his celebrated career.
