In Nan Cano's The Three Graces, cousins Marian, Norah, and Cara reunite at a crumbling family cottage. Each one's at a turning point brought on by grief and loss. This novel, vivid and complex, traces their transformations. As the characters travel to Costa Rica and Ireland, to California and New York, the story takes us into the worlds of professional dance, art history, the Magdalene laundries, and the terrible aftermath of 9/11. The perspective is at once global and deeply intimate. The writing compels us to care--these women and their lives matter. --Peggy Shumaker, Past Writer Laureate of Alaska
