Waterstones Says

Frequently appearing in reader’s lists of all-time favourite funny books, this is Nora Ephron’s knife-sharp and deliciously acerbic take on womanhood. Now with a new introduction by Dolly Alderton, I Feel Bad About My Neck is a must-read combination of wisdom, wit and wincingly accurate home truths.

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.

‘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

* 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.

So bold and so vulnerable at the same time. I don’t know how she did it. - PHOEBE WALLER-BRIDGE, Vogue

“Mixture of frivilous irrelevancies and witty commentary on life”

This is a collection of essays from Ephron that talk about all those little annoyances that women have to live with as they get older, some of which were very interesting and others were not so. Each essay embraces... More

My sister brought this book for me from El Paso, Texas and I read it in a couple of days, very funny and so true. Each chapter is a small essay, so it doesn't have to be read all in one go, but it's hard to... More
