More about the book

"HILARIOUS. . . A CHARMING, ENTERTAINING READ." --Los Angeles Times "WONDERFUL. . . Eve Mozell is having a lousy day, and she hasn't even gotten past breakfast yet. Her father, a senile ex-alcoholic whose idea of a good joke is goosing his woman doctor, started phoning Eve at 6 a.m. Her teenage son, who alternately ignores and lectures her, is off to a séance. ('You know, Mom, all doors are entrances. Think about it.') And a quick glance in the mirror turns out to be a big mistake. Oh, God, is that my face? . . . I need a vacation. No. This is just me. Me at forty-four. . . . What a terrific debut." --Newsweek "TRUE AND TOUCHING." --People "Delia Ephron is blessed with the driest of wits, the tenderest of hearts, and an uncanny ear for the way people really talk. Do yourself a favor and curl up with Hanging Up--but unplug the phone first." --Armistead Maupin "MOVING AND FUNNY. . . In some ways, Hanging Up is a funhouse version of King Lear." --Newsday
