This week on You Are What You Read, we have the talk of the town with us… Delia Ephron’s bestselling memoir, Left on Tenth, is now on Broadway starring Julianna Margulies and Peter Gallagher and directed by Susan Stroman. Delia Ephron is a bestselling author, screenwriter, essayist, and playwright. Her novels include Siracusa and The Lion Is In, and her movie credits…You’ve Got Mail, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, This is My Life, Michael, and Hanging Up (based on her novel). Her play, “Love, Loss, and What I Wore,” written with her sister Nora Ephron (based on the book by Ilene Beckerman), ran for two years off Broadway. In this conversation, Delia chronicles the events that led to her late-in-life love story. After losing her sister, Nora, and then her husband, Jerry, both to cancer, Delia struggled through years of heartbreak…but it turned out romance was the healer when a man named Dr. Peter Rutter came into the picture.
