After the global best seller Brooklyn, the multi-award-winning Colm Tóibín picks up the thread of the enigmatic Eilis Lacey’s life twenty years later, creating a deeply emotional novel about hidden secrets and the power of love.
Spring 1976. Now forty years old, Eilis Lacey, married to Italian plumber Tony Fiorello and mother of two teenagers, lives in a dead-end street in Long Island next to her husband’s two brothers and his parents. Her marriage seems more and more like a compromise, and she has not returned to Ireland for two decades. One day, while Tony is at work, an Irishman visits her and announces that his wife is expecting her husband’s child—a child he threatens to leave at her doorstep. Eilis’s reactions to this shocking news—what she does and, above all, what she refuses to do—make Tóibín’s novel truly gripping.
Long Island is a story about unfulfilled desires, deafening silences, marital loneliness, and those literal and figurative returns without which we cannot move forward.
