La narradora, Rachel Samstat, judía neoyorquina, hija de un actor secundario y de una agente de actores (que se especializaba en enanos y en rostros con cicatrices), es una escritora de libros de cocina con más ingenio que recetas, que vive en Washington y está casada con Mark, un afamado periodista político. Es feliz, tiene un hijo y está embarazada de siete meses cuando descubre que su marido está enamorado de Thelma, la esposa de un diplomático. Al parecer, todos, incluido el marido de Thelma, sabían lo que estaba sucediendo a espaldas de Rachel. Esta abandona Washington y se refugia en la casa de su padre en Nueva York, vuelve a visitar a su psicoanalista y a frecuentar su antiguo grupo de terapia, es víctima de un desopilante hold-up, se reconcilia fugazmente con su marido hasta que descubre que éste sigue viendo a Thelma, tiene un parto prematuro, vuelve a ver a su psicoanalista (maternal, heterodoxa, especializada en contar chistes judíos a manera de parábolas) y el matrimonio se acaba, pero la vida continúa.
Seven months into her pregnancy, Rachel Samstat discovers that her husband, Mark, is in love with another woman. The fact that the other woman has "a neck as long as an arm and a nose as long as a thumb and you should see her legs" is no consolation. Food sometimes is, though, since Rachel writes cookbooks for a living. And in between trying to win Mark back and loudly wishing him dead, Ephron's irrepressible heroine offers some of her favorite recipes. Heartburn is a sinfully delicious novel, as soul-satisfying as mashed potatoes and as airy as a perfect soufflé.
