Fiction
In Sister Mother Husband Dog, Delia Ephron brings her
trademark wit and effervescent prose to a series of
autobiographical essays about life, love, sisterhood,
movies, and family. In “Losing Nora,” she deftly captures
the rivalry, mutual respect, and intimacy that made up her
relationship with her older sister and frequent writing
companion. “Blame It on the Movies” is Ephron’s wry and
romantic essay about surviving her disastrous twenties,
becoming a writer, and finding a storybook ending.
“Bakeries” is both a lighthearted tour through her favorite
downtown patisseries and a thoughtful, deeply felt
reflection on the dilemma of having it all. From keen
observations on modern living, the joy of girlfriends, and
best-friendship, to a consideration of the magical madness
and miracle of dogs, to haunting recollections of life with
her famed screenwriter mother and growing up the child of
alcoholics, Ephron’s eloquent style and voice illuminate
every page of this superb and singular work.
