Lisa Unger

Lisa Unger will discuss and sign her newest book Heartbroken at The Friends of the Library Luncheon held at The University Club of Tampa, 201 N. Franklin Street, Suite 3800. We expect to have signed copies available at the bookstore after this date, but we suggest reserving your copies now. Heartbroken, another hit for Unger, tells the story of two very different women drawn to an island in the middle of an Adirondack lake, with horrific consequences. Kate has finally defied expectations and written a tragic love story based on family journals. Emily, on the run from a dead-end job and the wrong man is about to destroy her life. Without knowing each other, and with lives that couldn't be more different, Kate and Emily head to the same point on the map: Heart Island, owned for generations by Birdie Burke's family. The harsh and unyielding Birdie is at one with this island, which has a terrifying history all its own. She, too, has consequences to face.

Heartbroken is a tense, mesmerizing novel about the limits of dysfunctional families, of an island haunted by dark memories and restless ghosts, and of the all-too-real demons we must battle. Wonderfully suspenseful, exquisitely crafted, and written with raw, emotional power, this is Lisa Unger at her very best. Lisa Unger is an award-winning New York Times and international bestselling author. Her novels have sold over one million copies in the United States and have been translated into twenty-six different languages. Lisa now divides her time, along with her husband and daughter, between Florida and New York.

Lisa Unger is an award-winning New York Times and international bestselling author. Her novels have sold over 1 million copies in the U.S. and have been translated into 26 different languages.

About the book (from Publishers' Weekly): An island on an Adirondack lake becomes both a haven and a hell for three women in Unger's tense psychological thriller. Kate Burke's annual visits to Heart Island, owned by her wealthy parents, never go smoothly, mainly because of the uneasy relationship she has with her imperious 75-year-old mother, Birdie. Kate expects the next visit will be even more upsetting because she's written a novel based on journals kept by her aunt and grandmother that's a thinly veiled story of a love affair that ended in tragedy on the remote island. Meanwhile, Birdie has visions of a dark intruder prowling Heart Island at all hours. Finally, Emily, a waitress drifting through life, feels powerless to resist as her boyfriend pulls her into schemes that will betray the people closest to her. Unger (Die for You) skillfully builds the fissures in each of these women's lives as she illustrates the power of the heart and the corrosive nature of lies.
