"A haunting meditation on the bonds between mothers and daughters.
Zeldis offers a fascinating look into historic New York City and
New Orleans, and her skill as a storyteller is matched by her
compassion for her characters. What a beautiful read."--Fiona
Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Magnolia Palace "By
turns heartbreaking and heartwarming, Kitty Zeldis's The
Dressmakers of Prospect Heights, set against the backdrop of the
not-always-so-roaring Twenties, is an only-in-America story of
reinvention, rising above tragedy, and finding family."--Lauren
Willig, New York Times bestselling author of Band of Sisters For
fans of Fiona Davis, Beatriz Williams, and Joanna Goodman, a
mesmerizing historical novel from Kitty Zeldis, the author of Not
Our Kind, about three women in 1920s New York City and the secrets
they hold. Brooklyn, 1924. As New York City enters the jazz age,
the lives of three very different women are about to converge in
unexpected ways. Recently arrived from New Orleans, Beatrice is
working to establish a chic new dress shop with help from Alice,
the orphaned teenage ward she brought north with her. Down the
block, newlywed Catherine is restless in her elegant brownstone,
longing for a baby she cannot conceive. When Bea befriends
Catherine and the two start to become close, Alice feels abandoned
and envious, and runs away to Manhattan. Her departure sets into
motion a series of events that will force each woman to confront
the painful secrets of her past in order to move into the happier
future she seeks. Moving from the bustling streets of early
twentieth century New York City to late nineteenth-century Russia
and the lively quarters of New Orleans in the 1910s, The
Dressmakers of Prospect Heights is a story of the families we are
born into and the families we choose, and of the unbreakable bonds
between women.
