The Star-Crossed Sisters of Tuscany
Book Feature - The Star-Crossed Sisters of Tuscany by Lori Nelson Spielman
HBL Note: I first heard about this book in October of 2019, over a year ago! At that time, it was scheduled for release in April but the pandemic hit and things were so unknown (not to mention confusing and scary) that many books had their publication dates pushed back. Described as a “heartwarming novel of love, family, and self-acceptance,” I think we could all use an uplifting novel these days. It has the added benefit of making you feel like you’re in Italy, so if you miss traveling as much as I do then this is the book for you. Scroll down to read more.

From the publisher:
Since the day Filomena Fontana cast a curse upon her sister more than two hundred years ago, not one second-born Fontana daughter has found lasting love. Some, like second-born Emilia, the happily-single baker at her grandfather’s Brooklyn deli, claim it’s an odd coincidence. Others, like her sexy, desperate-for-love cousin Lucy, insist it’s a true hex. But both are bewildered when their great-aunt calls with an astounding proposition: If they accompany her to her homeland of Italy, Aunt Poppy vows she’ll meet the love of her life on the steps of the Ravello Cathedral on her eightieth birthday, and break the Fontana Second-Daughter Curse once and for all.
Against the backdrop of wandering Venetian canals, rolling Tuscan fields, and enchanting Amalfi Coast villages, romance blooms, destinies are found, and family secrets are unearthed—secrets that could threaten the family far more than a centuries-old curse.
