The love story of the century. The instant Sunday Times bestseller and the sequel to Brooklyn. Long Island by Colm T�ib�n is an exquisite, exhilarating novel that asks whether it is possible to truly return to the past and renew the great love that seemed gone forever. A man with an Irish accent knocks on Eilis Fiorello's door on Long Island. In that moment, everything changes. This stranger will reveal something that will make Eilis question the life she has created. For the first time in years she suddenly feels very far from home and the revelation will see her turn towards Ireland once again. 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 too late now to take a different path?`Riveting' - Elizabeth Strout`Masterful' - Douglas Stuart`Wonderful' - Oprah Winfrey`Entrancing' - The Economist`Magnificent' - The Times`Exquisite' - New York Times`Gorgeous' - The Independent`Dazzling' - The Financial Times`A masterclass' - The Guardian*Long Island was an instant Sunday Times bestseller w/c 27/5/24
