Description

Nora Ephron's debut novel is a sharp and witty exploration of heartbreak, betrayal, and the surprising solace found in food and revenge. When Rachel Samstat discovers her husband's infidelity while seven months pregnant, she navigates the wreckage of her marriage with a potent mix of anguish and culinary creativity. This novel masterfully blends laugh-out-loud humor with poignant observations on relationships, proving that even in the depths of despair, a well-timed recipe can offer a unique form of catharsis. Ephron's signature voice shines through, delivering a story that is both deeply personal and universally relatable, as Rachel seeks to reclaim her life one dish at a time.
