Nora Ephron is a journalist, an acclaimed essayist (Crazy Salad), and a novelist (Heartburn, made into a film starring Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep), as well as the acclaimed Academy Award winning screenwriter and film director of such classics as When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail and Bewitched.

The book that most influenced me... It triggered me to write my own
book, and ask myself questions about who I was, what kind of woman
I am and how the world had shaped me.
*LILY ALLEN, Guardian*
Few will troll these droll selections without being charmed to
bits... Recall how hard it was last year to find a present for
Mother's Day that wasn't yet one more box of chocolate? Remember
this book. You'll thank me. It's perfect
*Guardian*
An uncanny ability to sound like your best friend, whoever you
are
*The New York Times*
What's refreshing about Ephron is that she refuses to entertain any
illusions about the terrible fate that awaits us. What's great
about her is that she makes the truth about life so funny when it
should be so grim
*Sunday Times*
