Publisher Description

Is it possible to write a sidesplitting novel about the breakup of the perfect marriage? If the writer is Nora Ephron, the answer is a resounding yes. For in this inspired confection of adultery, revenge, group therapy, and pot roast, the creator of Sleepless in Seattle reminds us that comedy depends on anguish as surely as a proper gravy depends on flour and butter.

Seven months into her pregnancy, Rachel Samstat discovers that her husband, Mark, is in love with another woman. The fact that the other woman has "a neck as long as an arm and a nose as long as a thumb and you should see her legs" is no consolation. Food sometimes is, though, since Rachel writes cookbooks for a living. And in between trying to win Mark back and loudly wishing him dead, Ephron's irrepressible heroine offers some of her favorite recipes. Heartburn is a sinfully delicious novel, as soul-satisfying as mashed potatoes and as airy as a perfect soufflé.

Jamie Lyn from the Land of Oz ,

Meryl being Nora in the audio is better than the movie!

I wish Meryl could read ALL of my books to me. The book, as is usually the case, is better than the movie but Meryl is beloved in both.

Enjoyable

What a great way to turn a tragedy in your life art to be shared with the rest of the world. You feel for her, relate to her, root for her, cry with her and laugh with her. It’s an easy and enjoyable read or listen. I got the audiobook with Meryl Streep narrating. As expected, she too was fantastic!
