The love story of the century

Long Island by Colm Tóibín, author of Brooklyn, is his masterpiece: an outstanding, deeply compelling novel that asks whether it is truly possible to return to the past and renew the great love that seemed to have been lost forever.

A man with an Irish accent knocks on Eilis Fiorello’s door in Long Island. At that moment, everything changes. This stranger will reveal something that will make Eilis question the life she has built.

For the first time in years, she suddenly feels very far from home, and the revelation will lead her to turn back to Ireland. Back to her mother. Back to the town and the people she had chosen to leave behind.

Did she make the wrong choice all those years ago? Is it now too late to take a different path?
