Nora Ephron is a literary genre in her own right. Known for her biting wit, her apt and comic analyses of the female experience and her ability to detect the absurdities of modern life, she is one of the most unique and influential New York writers and screenwriters of the last decades. Sharp, sincere and always hilarious, she has won over millions of readers around the world with her intelligent reflections camouflaged under small daily miseries related to hair dyes, anti-wrinkle creams, hateful handbags, children who ignore us, forgetfulness of age, chaotic inboxes and marriages and recipes that sometimes do not turn out as we expected.
