Sister Mother Husband Dog (etc.)

Delia Ephron’s keenly funny memoir is like sitting down with your best girlfriend to rejoice in and commiserate over all life’s absurdities, pleasures, delights, and challenges. From the joy to be found in the companionship of dogs (and all their weird peccadilloes), to the vital role of bakeries in modern life, straight through to a the challenges of an unconventional upbringing and the devastating loss of a sister, Sister Mother Husband Dog offers hilariously relatable (and sometimes tearinducing) observations on the many roles women assume.
