just might make the decision easier for you, whatever you choose." One entry on the list:Heartburn, by Nora EphronRead about the other books on the list.
Not only was Ephron a great writer, and not only is this a great novel, but the fact that it’s largely autobiographical should be comforting. If a smart, rich, successful people like Ephron can suffer through a brutal divorce, you don’t have to feel too bad about your own. And if she can come out stronger and wittier for it, maybe you can too. As an added bonus, this story of cookbook author Rachel’s split from her philandering husband is side-splittingly funny.
Heartburn is among Diana Secker Tesdell's top ten memorable meals in literature and Anna Murphy's top ten lesser-known literary heroines.
