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.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Nora Ephron

Nora Ephron nasceu em Nova Iorque, filha de dois argumentistas de cinema, Henry e Phoebe Ephron. Licenciou-se em jornalismo pela Faculdade Wellesley (Massachusetts) e pouco depois, tornava-se repórter do New York Post, experiência que serviu de base ao seu romance Scribble Scribble.
Mais tarde, trabalhou para as revistas Esquire, New York e Rolling Stone, tornando-se uma das jornalistas mais conhecidas nos EUA durante a década de 70. Nessa época começou também a publicar ensaios, dos quais Wallflower at the Orgy é a primeira colectânea.
A sua estreia como realizadora de cinema deu-se em 1992, com o filme This is My Life, do qual foi igualmente autora do argumento. Silkwood, Um Amor Inesquecível (When Harry Met Sally) e Sintonia de Amor (Sleepless in Seattle), filme que também dirigiu, valeram-lhe três nomeações para o Óscar de o Melhor Argumento Original. Casei com Uma Feiticeira (Bewitched), foi o seu mais recente trabalho como realizadora.
Vive actualmente em Nova Iorque com o seu marido, o jornalista e argumentista Nicholas Pileggi.
