About The Three Graces of Pearl Street by Elizabeth Wellington Rollins
Three generations of an Italian American family find themselves under one roof after years apart in this novel set in a working-class New York neighborhood. Graziella, a 96-year-old former nun who runs the parish food kitchen, lives by the conviction that it is her duty to keep the neighborhood fed. Her daughter Grace, a respected psychology professor, seems composed but is unsettled as her personal life falters. Ella, Grace’s daughter, is searching for a place to belong while defending her vegan diet and anti-capitalist outlook.
As their lives and secrets converge, the three women confront the distances between them and the challenge of being fully known. Readers interested in intergenerational family stories, Italian American life, and the tensions between tradition and modernity may find this novel a rewarding choice.
