Delia Ephron: ‘I fell into my own romantic comedy’

Available for over a year

Writer Delia Ephron collaborated with her sister Nora on some of the nineties’ best-loved romantic comedies: Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail. So when Delia, now in her seventies, received an email from a man from the other side of the US, she felt as though she had landed in one of her own storylines. A magical romance ensued, but then things would go drastically off-script and she would need to call on love from all quarters to face down her life’s toughest challenge yet. She’s published a book about her experience, it's called Left on Tenth: A second chance at life. This episode was first broadcast in 2022.
