Tessie and Pearlie : A Granddaughter's Story
Tessie and Pearlie A Granddaughter's Story
Author: Joy Horowitz
In their touching story, two Jewish grandmothers--Tessie and Pearlie--share their wisdom, knowledge, and recipes to die for. Still close to their immigrant past and hardened by wars, the Depression, and discrimination, they teach us about living. And dying. They are the last of a breed--a generation passing but not likely to be forgotten.

I can't say enough about this book. If you've ever had, been or known a Jewish grandmother, this book will make you laugh and make you cry. If you haven't then I think you'll still appreciate the humor and heartwarming stories and insights this book provides. It's written by a Jewish woman, Joy Horowitz as she interviews her two Jewish grandmothers. It also includes their authentic recipes.
It really took me back to my time with my grandmother and I'm really having trouble even letting the book go, but I'm sure there's another Jewish grandaughter out there who really needs to read this and remember her "Bubbie".
Terrific book, couldn't put it down and was sad to see it end.
