Elizabeth will be joined by special guest Laura Beth Vietor aka @LBtheLoverofBooks, who lives outside of Greensboro, NC. She has had the awesome opportunity to virtually interview over 90 debut to best-selling authors, including Ann Napolitano, Bonnie Garmus, Shelby Van Pelt, Chris Whitaker and Lisa See. The best part is if you missed the live author chats, they are uploaded on her BookTube channel (LB the Lover of Books) where readers have amassed over 33,500 hours watched!!! If you are interested attending any of her free Zoom author chats coming up, find her after this event to get the details. She has also moderated over 40 in-person conversations with authors such as Jojo Moyes, Kate Quinn, Karin Slaughter, Kirsten Miller, Terah Shelton Harris, Kristy Woodson Harvey, Megan Miranda, and Marjan Kamali.
In this wise and warm debut novel, an Italian American grandmother, daughter, and granddaughter all named after the Roman myth of the Three Graces find their lives—and their secrets—colliding when, after years apart, they come to live under the same roof.
Graziella, a ninety-six-year-old former nun, spends her days running the parish’s food kitchen, convinced it is her responsibility to keep everyone fed in their working-class New York neighborhood. Her daughter, Grace, a respected psychology professor, appears accomplished and composed, yet finds herself unmoored as her personal life falters. Ella—Graziella’s granddaughter and Grace’s daughter—is weary of defending her vegan diet and anti-capitalistic lifestyle; blind to her own brilliance, she longs, above all, for a place to belong. Living together again, the three Graces reckon with the distances that have shaped them, and with what it means, at last, to be fully known.
“Truly captivating” (Annabel Monaghan, New York Times bestselling author) and populated by unforgettable characters, The Three Graces of Pearl Street explores the delicate balance between tradition and modernity, and the quiet courage it takes to move through the world with true grace.
