Heartburn is a roller coaster of love, betrayal, loss and most satisfyingly revenge. 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. The fact that this woman has a 'neck as long as an arm and a nose as long as a thumb' is no consolation. Seven months into her pregnancy, Rachel discovers that her husband is in love with another woman. 'I kept a copy of Nora Ephron's Heartburn next to me as a reminder of how to be funny and truthful, and all I ended up doing was ignoring my writing and rereading Heartburn' AMY POEHLER

Heartburn is the perfect, bittersweet, sobbingly funny, all-too-true confessional novel' NIGELLA LAWSON 'I have bought more copies of this book to give to people, in a frenzy of enthusiasm, than any other.
