Is it possible to write a sidesplitting novel about the breakup of the perfect marriage? If the writer is Nora Ephron, the answer is a resounding yes. In this inspired confection of adultery, revenge, group therapy, and pot roast, the creator of Sleepless in Seattle and When Harry Met Sally... reminds us that comedy depends on anguish as surely as a proper gravy depends on flour and butter.
Seven months into her pregnancy, Rachel Samstat discovers that her husband, Mark, is in love with another woman. The fact that the other woman has "a neck as long as an arm and a nose as long as a thumb and you should see her legs" is no consolation. Food sometimes is, though, since Rachel writes cookbooks for a living. And in between trying to win Mark back and loudly wishing him dead, Ephron's irrepressible heroine offers some of her favorite recipes.
Heartburn is a sinfully delicious novel, as soul-satisfying as mashed potatoes and as airy as a perfect soufflé.

Der Roman wurde 1983 in den USA veröffentlicht. Und irgendwie liest er sich auch so. Rachel, im 7. Monat schwanger, findet heraus, dass ihr Mann eine Affäre mit einer ihrer Freundinnen hat. Und dann geht es halt irgendwie weiter. Betont lustig, manchmal exzentrisch. Eigentlich permanent oberflächlich. Gefühle bleiben unter der Oberfläche. Das war mir zu - ja zu was eigentlich? Ich habe im Nachhinein gelesen, dass der Roman autofiktional ist. Da hätte ich mir ein bisschen weniger Oberflächlichkeit und etwas mehr Tiefgang gewünscht. Aber vielleicht ists auch eine gute Beschreibung der Zeit und trifft den Zeitgeist der 80er?! I don‘t know. 💍
This was magnificent, pacing was extraordinary, it was most of all funny but yet still so vulnerable and emotional. The approach of domesticity and cooking all throughout was also a lovely touch. I highlighted multiple passages simply because they just spoke to me so much!! Was going to give this 4 stars at first but I really cannot think of a single thing I didn’t like, mainly only that I wasn’t as engaged as I thought I would be, so 5 it is for now
