_____________________________________ 'Essential reading for anyone who hopes to grow old elegantly and perhaps a little disgracefully' Mail on Sunday 'She's like Benjamin Franklin or Shakespeare: her words are now part of the fabric of the English language' The New York Times A collection of essays filled with wit and wisdom from Nora Ephron, Academy Award-winning screenwriter and film director (When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail) and bestselling author (Heartburn, I Feel Bad About My Neck).

Of course, I can't remember exactly where I wrote about it, or when, but I could probably hunt it up if I had to.
