ABOUT THE BOOK

The Unraveling of Julia

#1 bestselling author Lisa Scottoline crafts a riveting psychological thriller in which a troubled young widow inherits a mysterious Tuscan estate, shrouded in secrets. Can she unravel the mystery before it unravels her? 

Lately, Julia Pritzker is beginning to think if she’s cursed. She’s lost her adoptive parents, then her husband is murdered. When she realizes that her horoscope essentially foretold his death, she begins to spiral. She fears her fate is written in the stars, not held in her own hands.

Then a letter arrives out of the blue, informing her that she has inherited a Tuscan villa and vineyard – but her benefactor is a total stranger named Emilia Rossi. Julia has no information about her biological family, so she wonders if Rossi could be a blood relative. Bewildered, she heads to Tuscany for answers.

There, Julia is horrified to discover that Rossi was a paranoid recluse with delusions of grandeur, who believed herself to be a descendent of Duchess Caterina Sforza, a legendary Renaissance ruler. Julia is stunned by her uncanny resemblance to Rossi and even to Caterina, then she unearths eerie parallels between them, including an obsession with astrology.

Before long, Julia suspects she’s being followed, and strange things begin to happen. Not even a chance meeting with a handsome Florentine can ease her disturbed mind. When events turn deadly, she breaks with reality.

Julia’s harrowing struggle becomes a search for her identity, a race to save her sanity, and ultimately, a question of her very survival.

EARLY PRAISE

Ghosts of Harvard is written with a masterly, focused hand, belying the fact that this is Serritella’s debut novel. The pages burn with frenetic energy and are peopled by memorable, compelling characters. The tension is palpable, the twists and surprises perfectly timed and the stakes as high as humans should be asked to endure. The end result, a novel you will long remember and characters you will want to see again. A triumph in every respect.”
—#1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci

“Wow, what a lively, compelling, and intoxicating debut. Ghosts of Harvard is so many things—a rumination on grief, a glimpse behind the ivory walls of a famous institution, a poignant look at mental illness, and a powerful story about the ghosts that haunt us all. Francesca Serritella is my new ‘go-to’ author.”
—#1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben

“Every time I thought I knew where Ghosts of Harvard was heading, I turned out to be wrong. Part mystery, part ghost story, part psychological thriller, this novel is all entertainment.”
—#1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult

I Can See Cleary Now
By Lisa Scottoline

Its the new year, so its time to reorganize my kitchen drawers.
Dont get the idea I do this every year.
I do it every 30 years.
But I do it when the year is new.
So that counts.
I started with the drawer that contained so much junk that I couldnt open or close it anymore without stuff sticking out, so it was time. Actually what it mostly contained was a bunch of pairs of glasses, and it was quite a spectacle.

I have about 20 pairs of reading glasses and I use my prescription glasses all the time. 👓

I just put 10 pairs in the Lions Club collection box at my bank. They do seem to pile up since every new prescription I get lasts for about 2 weeks!!!!

Your essays make my day!! 😊

Drawer-I carry at least 4 pair also in my purse/bag!!!

So funny!!

I don't think you have enough......

I buy those reading glasses in bulk. Always losing or breaking those fancy prescription glasses. Now i just grab another pair from the box. Sometimes 23 pairs reappear on the coffee table at the same time 😄👓👓👓

I love Oliver Peoples too!

My Italian Nonna used to say that whatever you do on the first, you will continue throughout the year. Cleaning out and organizing is wonderful. Perhaps there is a story to be made about a secret mysterious note hidden in an eyeglass case put up for sale in an estate auction (whose owner was killed by mysterious circumstances) which the buyer finds and solves the mystery, entitled, "SEE YOU LATER!"

I have that problem with watches, so I bought a watch repair kit.

You’re making a spectacle of yourself! I love it. Maybe to see flat Bradley better lol

I'm in the process of cleaning out a friend's house (she died in November, her hysband last May). I've found at least 70 pairs of glasses - 3 pair in with her undies! Sll have gone to the Lions Club. Yesterday, I found 2 more pair.🙄

I too am a Glasses Girl..so many...

Love it !

Too funny!!

If you have an eyeglass obsession like I think you might, you need to come to our shop, Glasses & More in Bucks County. We, too, are obsessed with awesome frames and your books!!!

♥️♥️♥️

I place my glasses on my lap and always forget that I’ve done that. Then, when I stand, I always drop them on the floor. 🤦🏻‍♀️

My Rx hasn't changed too much these last several years. So I have a few pair of sunglasses I've kept because I envy all the women who don't wear Rx and have a pair of sunglasses to match every outfit. My husband had cataract surgery so he will never wear whatever Rx glasses we have stashed in the drawer. When I decided to clean out our stash I was shocked at how many we kept year after year. All donated too! Lisa, you always present the slice of life I'm living! Thanks for sharing!

❤️

Haha, I just did the same thing and got rid of numerous pairs of sunglasses and reading glasses that I don't need. Feels good to purge and let somebody else use them.

There’s a Lions Club box at Bensalem Library-I’ve been feeding it for years…

I ordered a 5-pack of colored readers from Amazon in 2021. I’m on my last pair now. I’m very proud of myself😊

🤣🤓😎
