Synopsis
Delia Ephron brings her trademark wit and effervescent prose to a series of unforgettable, moving and provocative essays. The emotional lynchpin is the author's stirring, eloquent response to the death of Nora Ephron, her older sister and frequent writing companion. In 'Sister', she deftly captures the love, rivalry, respect and intimacy that made up her relationship with her sister in a way that is at once deeply personal and comfortingly universal. Other essays in the collection run the gamut from a hysterical piece about love and the movies - how romantic comedies completely destroyed her twenties - to the joy of girlfriends and best friendship, the magical madness and miracle of dogs, keen-eyed observations about urban survival, and a serious and affecting memoir of life with her mother - growing up the child of alcoholics. Ephron's sparkling wit and humanity is present on every emotionally resonant page.

Review
'Moving and witty'
'In this moving collection of essays, Delia writes with wit and sincerity about losing her older sister, and sharing her grief with the public who also felt they knew Nora...But Delia's book is more than just a homage to Nora - it's a frank and thought-provoking examination of both the humdrum and complexities of life'
Review by Julia Richardson, Daily Mail 10/10 --Daily Mail
