Andromeda Romano-Lax’s novels are each set in different times and places, connected by her interest in how individuals get caught up in larger historical forces. The Spanish Bow covers decades of Spanish history through a musician’s life, The Detour follows an art courier in Mussolini’s Italy, and Behave reimagines the private life of behaviorist psychologist John Watson.
Her more recent books have moved toward suspense and speculative fiction. Plum Rains is set in a near-future Japan where an aging woman receives a caregiving robot, and Annie and the Wolves weaves Annie Oakley’s history into a present-day story with elements of time travel. Each novel stands on its own, so readers can start anywhere.
