Book review – "Heartburn" by Nora Ephron

These days Nora Ephron is associated with sappy movies that have moments of brightness but tend to be overwhelmed by schmaltz and reference of old Hollywood classics – so it’s worth revisited this brilliant, pungent classic, a magnificent depiction of divorce. Full of brilliant moments – every page has some classic line. Very funny – how our emotions battle with our intellect, dealing with break up of marriages. There’s comments about food throughout the book and I realised she rehashed a gag in When Harry Met Sally (“Pretty. Nice. Big tits. Basic nightmare.”)
