Critics Review
I am not a great reader of comic novels, but Ephron’s hilarious, recipe-strewn, semi-autobiographical account of a heavily pregnant woman whose husband has left her for a woman with a ‘neck as long as an arm’ is a treat. A perfect example of Ephron’s gift for turning tragedy into comedy, Heartburn is evidence that revenge is indeed a dish best served cold
Heartburn took the most miserable personal situation and made it hysterically funny, inspiring and utterly relatable to women of all ages. I became obsessed with its author and thinly disguised heroine. - StylistI have bought more copies of this book to give to people, in a frenzy of enthusiasm, than any other…Heartburn is the perfect, bittersweet, sobbingly funny, all-too-true confessional novel. There is not a wrong word - about food, marriage, life, love, loss - Nigella Lawson[Ephron] chatters up a storm, always on the verge of wisecracking up - GuardianNora Ephron
