One Two Three

“Winning and amiable . . . The full and simple pleasures of Frankel’s luscious prose lull the reader into rooting for the good people of Bourne and these plucky heroines.”—The New York Times

“In One Two Three, Laurie Frankel’s signature wit, warmth, and fierce compassion shine with the story of three courageous, memorable triplets. I loved this book from the first line to the last.”—Marilyn Dahl, Shelf Awareness

“I loved One Two Three from start to finish. What you always get with a Laurie Frankel novel is an engrossing plot—she’s a terrific storyteller—but for me the best part of any of her novels are the three-dimensional characters she’s created, characters for whom she has empathy and palpable affection, characters who seem to leap off the page and into the heart of the reader. And that’s never been more evident than in One Two Three. I highly recommend it—it’s a book that will immediately draw you in and provide great reading pleasure.”—Nancy Pearl, author of the Book Lust series and George & Lizzie

“One Two Three is a powerful and nuanced novel about hope, human frailty, and love. Laurie Frankel takes a clear-eyed look at the mess we make of the world when we privilege profits over people and, brilliantly, without flinching from the truth, allows no hint of contempt, disgust, or hatred to enter the conversation. Three sisters, Mab, Monday, and Mirabel, understand that you can’t fight old problems with traditional tools. Their gifts and differences and love for each other help them to understand that their mother—our mothers—can’t make the change the world needs. It’s up to the daughters to act, to move us forward, to tell a different story. It is the daughters who will save us. One Two Three is the blueprint for a true revolution.”—Nicola Griffith, author of Hild and So Lucky

“Frankel has given us another socially conscious 21st-century fable in a voice that is part pastor, part political speechwriter, and part Fannie Flagg. Clever, charming, and always on message.”—Kirkus Reviews

“One Two Three is a coming-of-age story that examines intergenerational trauma, sisterhood, and agency. Frankel creates unique personalities for One, Two, and Three and builds a memorable world in Bourne.”—Booklist

“In Frankel’s tender-hearted latest . . . sharp plotting—with several surprising reversals—and memorable characters reflect a deep imagination that adds texture and complexity . . . Readers will be captivated by this story of adversity and resilience.”—Publishers Weekly
