and Other Thoughts on Being a Woman

Seven months into her pregnancy, Rachel discovers that her husband is in love with another woman. The fact that this woman has a 'neck as long as an arm and a nose as long as a thumb' is no consolation. Food sometimes is, though, since Rachel is a cookery writer, and between trying to win Mark back and wishing him dead, she offers us some of her favourite recipes. HEARTBURN is a roller coaster of love, betrayal, loss and - most satisfyingly - revenge. This is Nora Ephron's (screenwriter of WHEN HARRY MET SALLY and SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE) roman a clef: 'I always thought during the pain of the marriage that one day it would make a funny book,' she once said - And it is!

Heartburn

Delia Ephron

THE STORY: A play of monologues and ensemble pieces about women, clothes and memory covering all the important subjects--mothers, prom dresses, mothers, buying bras, mothers, hating purses and why we only wear black. Based on the bestselling book by

Love, Loss and what I Wore

This is a romantic comedy about the difficult, frustrating, awful, funny search for happiness in an American city where the primary emotion is unrequited love- is delighting audiences everywhere.

When Harry Met Sally

The classic Crazy Salad, by screenwriting legend and novelist Nora Ephron, is an extremely funny, deceptively light look at a generation of women (and men) who helped shape the way we live now. In this distinctive, engaging, and simply hilarious view of a period of great upheaval in America, Ephron turns her keen eye and wonderful sense of humor to the media, politics, beauty products, and women's bodies. In the famous "A Few Words About Breasts," for example, she tells us: "If I had had them, I would have been a completely different person. I honestly believe that." Ephron brings her sharp pen to bear on the notable women of the time, and to a series of events ranging from Watergate to the Pillsbury Bake-Off. When it first appeared in 1975, Crazy Salad helped to illuminate a new American era--and helped us to laugh at our times and ourselves. This new edition will delight a fresh generation of readers.

The Last Interview

«Nunca te cases con un hombre del que no te gustaría divorciarte.» «Cualquier cosa que no te guste de tu cuerpo a los treinta y cinco años te producirá nostalgia a los cuarenta y cinco.» «Si un zapato no te vale en la zapatería, nunca te valdrá.» «Cuando los hijos llegan a la adolescencia, es importante tener un perro, para que alguien en casa se alegre de verte.» En esta obra rebosante de prácticos consejos y desenfadada sabiduría, la famosa escritora y cineasta Nora Ephron comparte sus recuerdos y se sincera sobre los temas más variopintos con su habitual sentido del humor y su inconfundible voz. Ephron nos habla de su experiencia como madre y del síndrome del nido vacío; del precio de vivir en su adorada Nueva York; de su paso por la Casa Blanca como becaria; del amor tras un divorcio; de cuánto odia su bolso; de envejecer, del tinte del pelo, la cinta de correr, las cremas que prometen milagros pero que no logran hacer desaparecer las arrugas de su cuello... Publicado en 2006 y convertido ya en un clásico contemporáneo, No me gusta mi cuello es el libro más querido y emblemático de una escritora tan influyente como inimitable

No Me Gusta Mi Cuello

Is it possible to write a sidesplitting novel about the breakup of the perfect marriage? If the writer is Nora Ephron, the answer is a resounding yes. For in this inspired confection of adultery, revenge, group therapy, and pot roast, the creator of Sleepless in Seattle reminds us that comedy depends on anguish as surely as a proper gravy depends on flour and butter. Seven months into her pregnancy, Rachel Samstat discovers that her husband, Mark, is in love with another woman. The fact that the other woman has "a neck as long as an arm and a nose as long as a thumb and you should see her legs" is no consolation. Food sometimes is, though, since Rachel writes cookbooks for a living. And in between trying to win Mark back and loudly wishing him dead, Ephron's irrepressible heroine offers some of her favorite recipes. Heartburn is a sinfully delicious novel, as soul-satisfying as mashed potatoes and as airy as a perfect soufflé.

Hilarious anecdotal memoir in GRUMPY OLD WOMEN vein by Hollywood screenwriter / director of Ẁhen Harry Met Sally', Sl̀eepless in Seattle' and Ỳou've Got Mail'.
