An unconventional portrait of Billie Holiday, one America's most eminent jazz singers.
What The Reviewers Say
Bitter Crop benefits from a tight focus and a cinematic structure.
Readers interested in Holiday the vocalist would be better served by [other] books. (The title of Mr. Alexander’s book is in poor taste).
Ambitious.
Engrossing and moving.
