Book description
If there is any solace in growing older, it is that you will find
yourself guffawing in hysterical recognition at the situations Nora
Ephron describes, from the impossibility of trying to remember
people's names at parties,to struggling with the new technology. You
will find yourself rolling off the sofa snorting with laughter as she
recalls with her signature clarity and wisdom everything she hasn't
(yet) forgotten, including what it feels like to produce a flop - and
you will swallow down a lump in your throat at the poignancy of her
insights into the pain of losing friends, and the guilt of separation
and divorce.
One thing is for sure, there is nobody else who can put her finger
so very precisely, so beguilingly, with so much wisdom and with so
much wit, on what we all struggle with as we journey into our later years.
