What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Now with an introduction from Dolly Alderton, author of Everything I Know About Love, revealing how a new generation of women can take inspiration from Nora's sharp wit and wisdom about life.

* Never marry a man you wouldn't want to be divorced from.

* If the shoe doesn't fit in the shoe store, it's never going to fit.

* When your children are teenagers, it's important to have a dog so that someone in the house is happy to see you.

* If only one third of your clothes are mistakes, you're ahead of the game.

* Anything you think is wrong with your body at the age of thirty-five you will be nostalgic for by the age of forty-five.

'So bold and so vulnerable at the same time. I don't know how she did it' - Phoebe Waller-Bridge

'I give this as a present more than other book. I buy it for people so often that I've been known to give girlfriends two copies, one birthday after another' - Dolly Alderton

'I am only one of millions of women who will miss Nora's voice' Lena Dunham

'Oh how I loved Nora Ephron' Nigella Lawson

'Funny, knowing and smart' India Knight

'The book that most influenced me' Lily Allen

'Nora's exacting, precise, didactic, tried-and-tested, sophisticated-woman-wearing-all-black wisdom is a comfort and a relief' Dolly Alderton

Critics Review

The book that most influenced me... It triggered me to write my own book, and ask myself questions about who I was, what kind of woman I am and how the world had shaped me.
LILY ALLEN, Guardian
Few will troll these droll selections without being charmed to bits... Recall how hard it was last year to find a present for Mother's Day that wasn't yet one more box of chocolate? Remember this book. You'll thank me. It's perfect
Guardian
What's refreshing about Ephron is that she refuses to entertain any illusions about the terrible fate that awaits us. What's great about her is that she makes the truth about life so funny when it should be so grim
Sunday Times
Wildly funny
An uncanny ability to sound like your best friend, whoever you are
The New York Times
Laugh-out-loud
Glamour
One of the smartest, slickest looks at being a woman growing older... a bit like having your own clever film narrator's voice accompanying you through the sticky bits of life: the grief of a sagging neck, the joy of a good handbag, the unremitting loss of a best friend and the effort of facing up to no longer being 50
Good Housekeeping
Nobody does it funnier
Lots of good jokes, and a wonderfully amusing read
Had me in complete fits of laughter
