'Heartburn is as hilarious as it is heartbreaking and as brittle (very) as it is steely (even more)' India Knight

'Heartburn is the perfect, bittersweet, sobbingly funny, all-too-true confessional novel. There is not a wrong word - about food, marriage, life, love, loss - and all rings true and makes you laugh. Who could ask for anything more?' Nigella Lawson

'Nora Ephron can write about anything better than anybody else can write about anything' New York Times

Not just the funniest novel ever written about divorce, but the funniest novel ever. Only the truly talented make writing as good as this look easy
