Delia Ephron - A Second Chance at Life & Love
For Hollywood royalty, New York Times bestselling author, screenwriter, and playwright - Delia Ephron - life has always offered a rich supply of copy. Bad hair, heartache, chocolate pudding – almost anything could be mined for a book, a screenplay, or a newspaper column.
Then when Delia was 72, a time you might reasonably expect the flow of good material to quieten, life delivers her biggest story yet, one she very nearly didn’t survive.
Diagnosed with the same blood cancer that killed her beloved screenwriter sister Nora, Delia’s chance of survival, particularly because of her advanced age, was slim. But there was a double plot twist: she’d just fallen in love with a man she hadn’t seen for FIFTY FOUR YEARS – & with his love & devotion, she enters remission.
Delia’s is a miraculous story of late love played out in the shadow of a life-threatening illness, as captured in her superb memoir, Left on Tenth: A Second Chance at Life, part romantic comedy, part medical drama… & it’s absolutely divine.
So for anyone listening & despairing that love’s perhaps passed you by, you simply can’t afford to miss this gorgeous & inspirational chat with one half of the writers of the classic film - You’ve Got Mail. Because as enchanting as the Ephron sister’s ROM COMS are, life can be so much more magical than the movies.
