Long Island is a novel by acclaimed author Tóibín, set in 1976, about Eilis Lacey, an Irish woman married to Tony Fiorello. Eilis has no one to rely on in her new country, and her ties to Ireland remain strong. One day, an Irishman tells Eilis that her wife is pregnant with Tony's child, and he will deposit it on her doorstep. The novel explores longings unfulfilled and unrecognized, with the silences in Eilis's life being thunderous and dangerous. Long Island is a gorgeous story of a woman alone in a marriage and the deepest bonds she rekindles upon returning to the place and people she left behind.
