Synopses & Reviews

Review
“I used to have an idea for an essay: it would be about how college alumni magazines are essentially the book of everything. But having read Delia Ephrons
Sister Mother Husband Dog, Ive changed my mind.
This is the book of everything. It contains love, work, death, religion, sorrow, and baked goods, among many, many other things. I felt such a range of emotions when reading it. Ephron writes openly and deeply about powerful loss, and hilariously about the small and large absurdities of all our lives. With this amazing, inclusive collection, she doesnt miss a thing.”
—Meg Wolitzer, author of The Interestings
