REVIEWS: “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 ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Elizabeth Wellington Rollins is a writer and award-winning copywriter.
