**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**
**THE PERFECT GIFT FOR MOTHER'S DAY**

Bess Kalb has saved every voicemail message her grandmother Bobby - her best friend, her confidante - ever left her until the day she died.

In this vivid memoir, Bobby's voice is still in Bess's head. Stubborn, glamorous, larger than life, she gives Bess advice on everything from lipsticks to life partners and tells the history that made them both. These are the truths - full of devotion, killer instincts and hard-won wisdom - that grandmothers gift us even when they hurt, and even once they're gone.
