Linda Kass

“Coming into Bessie, I foolishly assumed I knew everything I needed to know about Bess Myerson. Boy, was I wrong. Linda Kass’s deeply researched novel is a poignant origin story, a fascinating window into mid-century American life, and a compelling case for Myerson as an authentic American heroine." —Louis Bayard, Washington Post bestselling author of Jackie & Me and The Pale Blue Eye

"Kass is a superbly talented writer, and in her hands, Bess Myerson becomes every woman, and the amazing story of her time becomes the story of our time, too. Brava!"—Lisa Scottoline, #1 bestselling author of Eternal and Loyalty
