Learn more“I now pronounce you husband and wife.” There are few phrases as sobering, with the possible exceptions of “We have lift-off” and “This country is at war.” Yet, as they have done for centuries, millions of courageous men and women continue to walk down the aisle every year, without so much as a job description. Now, in her most autobiographical book, Erma Bombeck puts it all in loving and laughing perspective, as she looks back on her own forty-three-year-but-who’s-counting marriage.
Erma Bombeck (1927–1996) is primarily known for her syndicated humor columns which appeared for over twenty years in newspapers throughout the US, to the delight of millions of housewives and mothers from more than one generation. Her many bestsellers include Motherhood: The Second Oldest Profession and When You Look Like Your Passport Photo, It’s Time to Go Home.
C. M. Hébert is an Earphones Award winner and Audie Award nominee. She is the recording studio director for the Talking Books Program at the Library of Congress’ National Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. She lives in Silver Spring, Maryland, with her husband, daughter, cat, and assorted fish.
Reviews
“Like the column she’s known for, this book is full of laughs but also explores serious subjects.”
“Though she has managed to combine a spectacular career with a successful family life, Bombeck makes clear that having it all means giving one's all.”
“Bombeck…is in top form here, detonating snappy one-liners throughout this account of her forty-plus years of marriage.”
“C. M. Hébert wisely reads the book without inflection, allowing the subtle humor to flow from the text.”
