THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Tender, witty and romantic -
there is something so calming about Delia's writing that makes you
immediately want to get cosy, slow down and shut off the world for
a moment.' - Emma Gannon An emotional, magical memoir from the New
York Times bestselling writer about finding love a second time
around. _______________________________ If you pitched a movie
about a recently-widowed woman in her seventies who reconnects with
a man she dated in college, leading to an exchange of emails and
the pair falling in love fifty years after their first date, the
studio exec would say it's too far-fetched. Yet that's just what
happened to Delia Ephron, writer, bestselling novelist and
screenwriter of You've Got Mail. When Delia's beloved first husband
Jerry died of cancer in 2015, after thirty-three years of marriage,
she struggled without him. Focusing on the day-to-day, she decided
to make one small move forward and cancel Jerry's dedicated
landline. This spiralled into days of frustration, prompting Delia
to turn to words to process her grief and bewilderment. Her New
York Times piece about the woes of customer service caught the eye
of Peter, who emailed to commiserate. He was recently widowed
himself and reminded Delia that years ago, when they were college
students, they had been set up by her sister Nora. Cautiously,
Delia replied. Over a few short weeks of email exchanges, Delia
realized that she and Peter were undeniably soulmates. Months
later, still caught up in this whirlwind romance, Delia made
another life-changing discovery: she was profoundly sick. Left on
Tenth is the spirited story of Delia's second chance at love, and a
heartfelt and miraculous account of life after cancer.
