# Heartburn by Nora Ephron (Paperback)

**A BESTSELLING NOVEL AND MAJOR FILM STARRING MERYL STREEP AND JACK NICHOLSON  
  
'I have bought more copies of this book to give to people, in a frenzy of enthusiasm, than any other . . . _Heartburn_ is the perfect, bittersweet, sobbingly funny, all-too-true confessional novel' NIGELLA LAWSON  
  
'A perfect example of Ephron's gift for turning tragedy into comedy' PAULA HAWKINS, _THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN_  
  
'She is wit without cynicism, the ultimate romantic' GAIL COLLINS, _NEW YORK TIMES_**  
  
Seven months into her pregnancy, Rachel discovers that her husband is in love with another woman. The fact that this woman has a 'neck as long as an arm and a nose as long as a thumb' is no consolation. Food sometimes is, though, since Rachel is a cookery writer, and between trying to win Mark back and wishing him dead, she offers us some of her favourite recipes. _Heartburn_ is a roller coaster of love, betrayal, loss and most satisfyingly revenge.  
  
This is Nora Ephron's (screenwriter of _When Harry Met Sally_ and _Sleepless in Seattle_) roman à clef: 'I always thought during the pain of the marriage that one day it would make a funny book,' she once said - And it is!
