Reading Nora: 9 Essential Books For Every Ephron Fan

When it was first released in 1983, this novel surprised many, not only because it was an autobiographical account of the dissolution of Nora's marriage to Carl Bernstein, but also because it was so funny. Seven months into her second pregnancy, Rachel Samstat discovers that her husband, Mark, has been having an affair. Cue the drama, the tears, and a screen adaptation starring Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson.
