You don't have to be old<b> </b>to appreciate this collection of memories, aphorisms and stern good advice from America's favourite naughty aunt... snigger-out-loud... Reading this book is a little like being sat down by an older, wiser friend... good advice indeed

Independent on Sunday

Read Nora Ephron because she's funny, read her because she's wise, read her because she never writes a boring sentence, read her because she's sharp as a knife but her heart's in the right place... Enjoy!

- David Robson, Daily Express

As always, she has an eye for the killer detail... a mixture of memoir, rants and observations... This book is as grown-up as a dirty martini

- Daisy Goodwin, The Sunday Times

If we have to grow old (and as they say, consider the alternative) there's no better guide

People Magazine (Top 10 Books of 2010)

Tantalizingly fresh and forthright... She's self-effacing and brilliant. I use lines of hers all the time... She's like Benjamin Franklin or Shakespeare: her words are now part of the fabric of the English language

The New York Times Book Review

'Memories, aphorisms and stern good advice from America's favourite naughty aunt' Independent on Sunday'This book is as grown-up as a dirty martini' Sunday Times'Sharp as a knife' Daily Express___In her final book, Nora Ephron reflects on life, growing older, and everything she will and won't miss. Filled with Nora's trademark wit, wisdom and warmth.* No one actually likes to admit they're old. The most they will cop to is that they're older. Or oldish.* Freedom of the press belongs to the man who owns one.* I have been forgetting things for years-at least since I was in my thirties. I know this because I wrote something about it at the time. I have proof. Of course, I can't remember exactly where I wrote about it, or when, but I could probably hunt it up if I had to.___Praise for Nora Ephron'So bold and so vulnerable at the same time. I don't know how she did it' Phoebe Waller-Bridge'Oh how I loved Nora Ephron' Nigella Lawson'Funny, knowing and smart' India Knight'Nora's exacting, precise, didactic, tried-and-tested, sophisticated-woman-wearing-all-black wisdom is a comfort and a relief' Dolly Alderton

If there is any solace in growing older, it is that you will find yourself guffawing in hysterical recognition at the situations the author describes, from the impossibility of trying to remember people's names at parties, to struggling with the new technology. This title focuses on what we all struggle with as we journey into our later years.
