Heartburn by Nora Ephron

FIRST EDITION / FOURTH PRINTING [1983] ALFRED A KNOPF

Fourth printing.  Dust jacket has tanning and some wear to edges.  Book reads nicely but has some tanning / discoloration to cover and hint of subtle foxing to outer page edge. 


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.
