520 OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK * Named a Most Anticipated Book by
The New York Times , The Washington Post , Financial
Times , Star Tribune (Minneapolis), Good Housekeeping ,
AARP , and more * From the beloved, critically
acclaimed New York Times bestselling author comes a
spectacularly moving and intense novel of secrecy,
misunderstanding, and love, the story of Eilis Lacey, the
complex and enigmatic heroine of Brooklyn , Tóibín's most
popular work in twenty years. Eilis Lacey is Irish,
married to Tony Fiorello, a plumber and one of four
Italian American brothers, all of whom live in neighboring
houses on a cul-de-sac in Lindenhurst, Long Island, with
their wives and children and Tony's parents, a huge
extended family that lives and works, eats and plays
together. It is the spring of 1976 and Eilis, now in her
forties with two teenage children, has no one to rely on
in this still-new country. Though her ties to Ireland
remain stronger than those that hold her to her new land
and home, she has not returned in decades. One day, when
Tony is at his job and Eilis is in her home office doing
her accounting, an Irishman comes to the door asking for
her by name. He tells her that his wife is pregnant with
Tony's child and that when the baby is born, he will not
raise it but instead deposit it on Eilis's doorstep. It is
what Eilis does—and what she refuses to do—in response to
this stunning news that makes Tóibín's novel so riveting.
Long Island is about longings unfulfilled, even
unrecognized. The silences in Eilis's life are thunderous
and dangerous, and there's no one more deft than Tóibín at
giving them language. This is a gorgeous story of a woman
alone in a marriage and the deepest bonds she rekindles on
her return to the place and people she left behind, to
ways of living and loving she thought she'd lost.
