Summary

An assessment of the making of Nora Ephron's revered trilogy, 'When Harry Met Sally," "You've Got Mail," and "Sleepless in Seattle" shares an intimate portrait of the writer's life and her enduring influence on a generation of Hollywood womenWhen Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail, and Sleepless in Seattle brought romantic comedies back to the fore. Carlson takes readers on a trip to Ephron's New York City, where reality took a backseat to romance. Along the way, Carlson examines how Ephron explored in the cinema answers to the questions that plagued her own romantic life, and how she regained faith in love after one broken engagement and two failed marriages
