Lori Nelson Spielman’s three standalone novels share a focus on women whose lives are disrupted by unexpected conditions. The Life List (2013) was her breakout, following Brett Bohlinger as she attempts to fulfill a list of dreams she wrote at fourteen in order to receive her late mother’s inheritance. The catch is that her fourteen-year-old self wanted very different things than her adult self has.

Sweet Forgiveness (2015) uses a chain-letter premise to force its protagonist to confront past wrongs, and The Star-Crossed Sisters of Tuscany (2018) sends a grandmother, mother, and granddaughter to Italy to test a family legend. The novels share Spielman’s gift for premises that sound light but lead to genuine emotional territory.
