Synopsis

With her disarming, intimate, completely accessible voice, and dry sense of humor, Nora Ephron shares with us her ups and downs in I Feel Bad About My Neck, a candid, hilarious look at women who are getting older and dealing with the tribulations of maintenance, menopause, empty nests, and life itself.

Ephron chronicles her life as an obsessed cook, passionate city dweller, and hapless parent. But mostly she speaks frankly and uproariously about life as a woman of a certain age. Utterly courageous, uproariously funny, and unexpectedly moving in its truth telling, I Feel Bad About My Neck is a scrumptious, irresistible treat of a book, full of truths, laugh out loud moments that will appeal to readers of all ages.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Never marry a man you wouldn’t want to be divorced from. If the shoe doesn’t fit in the shoe store, it’s never going to fit. When your children are teenagers, it’s important to have a dog so that someone in the house is happy to see you. Anything you think is wrong with your body at the age of thirty-five you will be nostalgic for by the age of forty-five.

‘Recall how hard it was last year to find a present for Mother’s Day that wasn’t yet one more box of chocolates? Remember this book. You’ll thank me. It’s perfect’ Lionel Shriver, Guardian ‘Nobody does it funnier’ Maureen Lipman ‘A bit like having your own clever film narrator’s voice accompanying you through the sticky bits of life: the grief of a sagging neck, the joy of a good handbag, the unremitting loss of a best friend and the effort of facing up to no longer being 50’ Good Housekeeping
