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 βLosing Nora,β she deftly captures the rivalry, mutual respect, and intimacy that made up her relationship with her older sister and frequent writing companion. βBlame It on the Moviesβ is Ephronβs wry and romantic essay about surviving her disastrous twenties, becoming a writer, and finding a storybook ending. βBakeriesβ 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, Ephronβs eloquent style and voice illuminate every page of this superb and singular work.
