NOW WITH AN INTRODUCTION FROM DOLLY ALDERTON, author of Everything I Know About Love, revealing how a new generation of women can take inspiration from Nora's sharp wit and wisdom about life.* 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.* If only one third of your clothes are mistakes, you're ahead of the game.* 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.______________________________________________________________________________'Nora's exacting, precise, didactic, tried-and-tested, sophisticated-woman-wearing-all-black wisdom is a comfort and a relief. It's why I give this as a present more than other book. I buy it for people so often that I've been known to give girlfriends two copies, one birthday after another' - Dolly Alderton__________________________________________________________________'I am only one of millions of women who will miss Nora's voice' Lena Dunham'Oh how I loved Nora Ephron' Nigella Lawson'Funny, knowing and smart' India Knight'The book that most influenced me' Lily Allen
