description: 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 Losing Nora she deftly captures the rivalry mutual respect and intimacy that made up her relationship with her older sister and frequent writing companion. Blame It on the Movies is Ephrons wry and romantic essay about surviving her disastrous twenties becoming a writer and finding a storybook ending. Bakeries 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 Ephrons eloquent style and voice illuminate every page of this superb and singular work.
