Beschreibung

In the Tuscan hilltop village of Santorno, the setting for Amanda Craig's entertaining and surprisingly bracing new novel, the Three Graces of her title are preparing for a spring wedding. Adorning this idyll (or 'Hampstead-by-Tuscany', as it is christened by a disgruntled member of the younger generation) Craig's Graces - Ruth, Marta and Diana - are a trio of elderly expatriates with a total of 'four breasts, five eyes and three hip replacements' between them.

When Enzo, a local villager, shoots an illegal immigrant from his bedroom window one night it triggers a series of events that embroil old and young, rich and poor, native and foreign.

'Gorgeous and generous... rich with characters and suffused with sunlight' Lissa Evans, author of Old Baggage

'I absolutely LOVED The Three Graces. It's about Tuscany and Umbria and Italy and immigration and ageing and generational divides and art and beauty and music and suffering and love and joy and life. It's bursting with compassion and wisdom. Do treat yourself. We could all do with more beauty, compassion and joy' Christina Patterson
