Delia Ephron Libri

Humorous book about childrens' behavior told from an adult perspective.

If you pitched a movie about a recently-widowed woman in her seventies who reconnects with a man she dated in college, leading to an exchange of emails and the pair falling in love fifty years after their first date, the studio exec would say it's too far-fetched.

It examines how the brain's analytical capabilities and the heart's emotional responses influence our choices and shape our identities. Through engaging narratives and insightful analysis, the author invites readers to reflect on their own experiences and the balance between rational thought and emotional intuition in their lives.

"HILARIOUS. . . A CHARMING, ENTERTAINING READ." --Los Angeles Times "WONDERFUL. . . Eve Mozell is having a lousy day, and she hasn't even gotten past breakfast yet. Her father, a senile ex-alcoholic whose idea of a good joke is goosing his woman doctor, started phoning Eve at 6 a.m. Her teenage son, who alternately ignores and lectures her, is off to a séance. ('You know, Mom, all doors are entrances. Think about it.') And a quick glance in the mirror turns out to be a big mistake. Oh, God, is that my face? . . . I need a vacation. No. This is just me. Me at forty-four. . . . What a terrific debut." --Newsweek "TRUE AND TOUCHING." --People "Delia Ephron is blessed with the driest of wits, the tenderest of hearts, and an uncanny ear for the way people really talk. Do yourself a favor and curl up with Hanging Up--but unplug the phone first." --Armistead Maupin "MOVING AND FUNNY. . . In some ways, Hanging Up is a funhouse version of King Lear." --Newsday
