“The gifted Elizabeth Wellington Rollins has written a stunning debut. The Three Graces of Pearl Street is a story of an Italian American triumvirate of women bound together by history but not necessarily truth. Graziella is the 96-year-old matriarch who has bargained with God for more time to do her good works. Her daughter Grace is a professor whose personal life is falling apart which unmoors her while her daughter Ella struggles to find her place in the world. This is an intergenerational story full of the complexities of family life that will surprise and inspire you at every turn.” —Adriana Trigiani, New York Times bestselling author of The View from Lake Como

“A truly captivating tale spanning generations of strong women, this poignant debut features unforgettable characters who discover that it’s never too late to stand up for what’s right, make a fresh start, and fall in love all over again. Don’t miss this charmer.” —Annabel Monaghan, New York Times bestselling author of Dolly All The Time

 

"The Three Graces of Pearl Street is life-affirming, brimming with wisdom, grace, and humour, and utterly delightful. While exploring the cultural and generational divides within a fractious but tight-knit family, Elizabeth Wellington Rollins gives us a character for the ages in Graziella Valentini. This big-hearted, sharp-tongued, lion-cane-wielding nonna will remain a voice in my head for a long time to come. I didn’t want it to end." —Emma Knight, New York Times bestselling author of The Life Cycle of the Common Octopus

“Told with remarkable tenderness and humor, THE THREE GRACES OF PEARL STREET is a story about what it means to take care of and love one another, whether family, community, or perhaps the hardest and most important, ourselves. I wish I could be invited to Nonna’s table for a Feast of the Seven Fishes and to receive her wisdom and heart, but reading this book was the next best thing. I loved it.” —Heather Aimee O’Neill, national bestselling author of The Irish Goodbye
 

"An intimate and tender debut, this is a gorgeous and captivating story of strong women, deep family bonds, and the ways we hold one another across time and space." — Jo Piazza, National Bestselling author of The Sicilian Inheritance
