The Most of Nora Ephron by Nora Ephron 9780385350839 555 pages.



This collection of essays, the famous Wellesley commencement address, a novel (Heartbeat),  a screenplay (Sleepless in Seattle) her most recent play (Lucky Guy) and more. Even though I have read and enjoyed several of these works before, I read every word. She was a damn fine writer. A few weeks ago I read her sister’s recent memoir, Sister, Mother, husband, dog. I feel like I have just left the Ephron world, a New York world that savors fine food and witty repartee. She had a lot of bad breaks, a difficult mother, unfaithful husband, but made the most of her talents and was successful in a variety of careers.
