**I HAVE NOT BEEN AS PROFOUNDLY MOVED BY A BOOK IN YEARS' JODI
PICOULT** **I LOVED THIS BOOK MORE THAN I CAN SAY**NIGELLA LAWSON A
brilliantly original memoir of a grandmother speaking to her
granddaughter from beyond the grave, telling the story of her life
with hilarious candor and love. Bess Kalb has saved every voicemail
message her grandmother - her best friend, her confidante - ever
left her until the day she died. In this wildly imaginative memoir,
Bobby Bell's voice is still in Bess's head. Stubborn, glamorous,
larger than life, she gives Bess critical advice on everything and
tells the history that made them both. Beginning with her mother's
escape from the pogroms of Belarus in the 1880s to the
rambunctiously cramped Brooklyn apartment where Bobby was born, it
swings through her loving marriage, blazes over the rebellious
youth of her daughter and finally - falls madly in love with her
granddaughter, Bess. Nobody Will Tell You This But Me are the
truths - full of devotion, killer instincts and hard-won experience
- that Bess's grandmother tells even when they hurt - and even
though she's gone. This unusual love story celebrates the bond of
women across generations and the personalities that live on through
grief and love. Told through documents, photographs, and verbatim
dialogue, it's a memoir like none you've ever read before.
