Nobody Will Tell You This But Me – Audiobook Online
Nobody Will Tell You This But Me a good book by Bess Kalb.
When she left home for Hollywood, Emmy-nominated TV screenwriter Bess Kalb saved every voicemail her grandmother Bobby Bell ever left her. Bobby is a force – irrepressible, charming, unbridledly consistent. Bobby loves Bess; Bess loves Bobby. Then, at the age of ninety, Bobby died. But in this debut memoir, Bobby speaks to Bess once again, with a voice never before seen in his life.
Once upon a time both legend and family secret, Bobby brings us four generations of indomitable women and men who love them. There’s Bobby’s mother, who traveled alone from Belarus to America in the 1880s to escape the carnage, and Bess’ mother, a 1970s rebel who was always against convention. Bobby and Bess had always had the strongest bond: Bobby was her niece’s biggest supporter, showing Bess unambiguous love, even if it was sometimes the hardest kind. No one will tell you this but I mark the creation of an entirely new, masterful form of memoir: recreating the words and wisdom of a beloved grandmother to tell her family’s story. her family with equal depth and fun.
My grandmother passed away in November 2020.
She had four children, ten stepchildren, and about 45,000 grandchildren and great-grandchildren, but I felt a closeness to her that was only for me. It’s small, but it’s mine.
This book is a distilled, exaggerated, and enhanced version of that closeness. Oh to have a lot of stories. So many lovely, private memories. I wish I could retain more of my grandmother’s voice. I envy Bess Kalb as much as I understand how great her loss must be. To be completely wrapped up in someone destined to die before you is a cruel blessing.
The writing, story, pacing and vocals of this piece are phenomenal. I want to buy a dozen books for my mother, sister, aunt, and cousin who are all facing their own losses.
