Review
"Tucker is a riveting storyteller whose book brims with a cathartic intelligence about the dark side of families and how we survive." -- "People"
"Engrossing and suspenseful, Tucker's remarkable fourth novel unveils the motives behind the curious behavior and superfluous lies of unusually close-knit fraternal twins...[a] satisfying, imminently readable novel." -- "Publishers Weekly "
"A compulsively readable story...nothing is as it appears in this suspenseful, well-crafted look at truth and betrayal...a haunting, harrowing story." -- "Library Journal"
"A compelling must-read novel that is part mystery, part family drama, and wholly satisfying." -- "Deseret News"
"Tucker excels at telling unexpected stories. In "The Promised World", she hands the reader a solid marriage that is torn by tragedy...when the story's underlying turns are revealed, and everything comes together, it makes terrific sense." -- "The Denver Post"
"A masterfully told story that delves deep into the human psyche and examines the frailty of the human mind after a tragedy and the powerful, lifelong impact of childhood memories." -- "Booklist"
""The Promised World" is a book that will appeal both to readers of literary fiction and those who enjoy psychological suspense. It's one of the standout novels of the year." -- "The Chicago Sun-Times"
From the Back Cover
Critically acclaimed bestselling author Lisa Tucker is back with an emotionally charged novel about a woman whose world unravels when an unthinkable tragedy strikes. A riveting story about the earth- shattering secrets revealed in the aftermath of a crisis, The Promised World grips the reader and never lets go.
A literature professor's carefully constructed life is shattered after the death of her twin brother and the unraveling of the secret world they shared. A provocative and suspenseful novel with multi-faceted characters so real that they inhabit the reader's mind long after the last page is turned, The Promised World delivers an intensely charged, yet delicately nuanced, story that fans of Lisa Tucker will devour. Readers who are just discovering Lisa Tucker are in for a treat, and they will surely find themselves eager to run out and get her previous novels as soon as possible.
