We all want a best friend like Nora Ephron: frank but forgiving, wry but caring, someone who knows not only what to say but how to say it.

Don't know what to wear? "Black matches with everything, especially black."
Trouble in love? "You can never know the truth of anyone's marriage, including your own."
Searching for a new belief system? "My religion is Get Over It."

Here is the best of Nora for every season of life, across her storied career, from her early days in the news media to her cult classic novel, to her unexpected turn as a legendary Hollywood writer. Nora saw it all, and with a wicked sense of humour and shrewd intellect, she made it all deliciously funny. Filled with unforgettable lines, this is a celebration of Nora's singular wit and generosity-start at the beginning or flip to any page for instant delight.
