Reviews

"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 "Every single page of The Dressmakers of Prospect Heights is filled with life. And in this beating heart of a book are three unforgettable women who show grit when reckoning with their painful pasts, grace when navigating vibrant 1920s Brooklyn, and glee when discovering their second acts. It's a timely reminder of how strong women are--and how much stronger we are together." -- Karin Tanabe, author of A Woman of Intelligence "The Dressmakers of Prospect Heights is a novel of vivid heartbreak and vibrant hope. Kitty Zeldis deftly winds her way through early New York, capturing the city at a time of limitless possibility with female characters as intriguing as their setting. Full of captivating language and nimble storytelling, The Dressmaker's of Prospect Heights compels us to examine what it truly means to be someone's mother or someone's child, and whether we can ever be forgiven for the mistakes of our past." -- Lynda Cohen Loigman, author of The Matchmaker's Gift and The Wartime Sisters Praise for NOT OUR KIND: "[An] enthralling portrait of a woman daring to defy convention in the face of rigid social confines. Lively period details of the bustling city breathe life into Not Our Kind, a story capturing issues of discrimination, the marginalization of women and class disparities. Often veering in unexpected directions, the novel is filled with thought-provoking turns that explore timely subjects in a gripping light. . . . the book's greatest strength is exploring how the building of relationships can help dissolve ignorance. . . . its themes linger long after the final page is read." -- USA Today "Masterfully transports readers to 1947 New York to depict the relationships that develop between a young Jewish woman and a Protestant family. . . . Lively descriptions of 1940s clothing and culture complement the realistic characters. This is a vivid, winning novel." -- Publishers Weekly "Drenched in rich and colorful prose, Zeldis portrays interpersonal relationships in a time and place framed in prejudice. Not Our Kind speaks to everyone, no matter what 'kind' you are." -- The Jewish Voice (Philadelphia) "A richly layered assimilation story set in post-WWII Manhattan. . . . chapters that alternate between Patricia's and Eleanor's point of view enable these co-protagonists to be defined by more than their stance on a Jewish question that's both urgent and on the wane in the post-WWII era. . . . an historical novel that resonates in contemporary Trumpian America. . . . [a] very good novel." -- Washington Independent Review of Books "A young Jewish teacher and a WASPy married woman find an unexpected connection in post-World War II New York. . . . A compelling tale of friendship, class, prejudice, and love." -- Kirkus Reviews, "A haunting meditation on the bonds between mothers and daughters.
