Watchung Booksellers Author Event - Lisa Gornick, "Tinderbox"

Join us at Watchung Booksellers for a reading and talk with Lisa Gornick, author of "Tinderbox"!

Myra is a Manhattan psychotherapist. Her phobia-addled son has just moved back in with his wife and child, and the new nanny, Eva, seems like a perfect addition. But as Eva, a Peruvian immigrant, reveals more of herself, what seemed a felicitous arrangement turns ominous. As events spiral out of control, Myra learns that even a family as close-knit as her own can have plenty to hide.  In the rich tradition of Lionel Shriver, Jane Hamilton, and Anne Tyler, Lisa Gornick spins a suspenseful mystery of hidden traumas, families, secrets and love.

Lisa Gornick is a psychoanalyst, Columbia University professor and the author of a previous novel, "A Private Sorcery". Her stories have been widely published, and she is the recipient of the Best American Short Stories Distinguished Story of the year award.
