Wedding bells soon ring for Mark and Rachel after the two journalists meet at a friend’s nuptials. After they’ve tied the knot, Rachel gives up her position as a food critic to begin a family. However, Mark, a political columnist, is unable to adjust to married life, even at the cost of losing Rachel and his children.

Nora Ephron’s autobiographical novel chronicling the breakup of her marriage to investigative journalist Carl Bernstein is adapted for the big screen by director Mike Nichols and solidly acted by Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson. Rachel Samstat is Ephron’s stand-in, a New York food writer who falls for and marries Washington political columnist Mark Forman despite her initial misgivings. And it isn’t long before a second pregnancy, separate homes, and the return of Mark’s womanizing places a strain on the marriage that results in bitter divorce and inspires Rachel’s cynical musings on the nature of love, sex, and relationships.

Even though I was not really happy with the ending of the story, it was an enjoyable book and movie. I thought the title sort of blended in with the story. http://www.amazon.com/Heartburn-Nora-Ephron/dp/0679767959/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1272750720&sr=1-1
