- Synopsis
- The Mallone sisters look Irish, but don't let their blue eyes fool you."It's all in how you say it," their grandma Anona proudly says. "Ma-llone is Irish. Mal-lon-e is Italian."Growing up Italian in the 1920s, in Hell's Kitchen, an Irish enclave, requires toughness, thrift, and a calculating mind-even for the three beautiful Mallone sisters. And when their baby sister Gracie is swept off her feet by no-good Frankie Merelli, Helen and Mary will do anything to make sure Grace gets the life she deserves, even if that means going after her husband... The Sisters Mallone is a black comedy about the power of sisterhood and the importance of family-and family connections. Through irrepressible characters, and infectious and suspenseful writing, The Sisters Mallone reveals the American immigrant's dream-with a twist.
