Abstract to the book "Long Island" by Toibin K.: For the first time in Russian — the freshest novel by the modern classic Colm Toibin, the titan of Irish and world literature, winner of many prestigious awards, multiple finalist of the Booker, author of such international bestsellers as "The Wizard" and "The Master". Fifteen years ago, his novel Brooklyn — the quiet odyssey of a young Irish woman Eilish Lacey, who traveled from her native Enniscorthy to New York - won the hearts of readers around the world, and the film adaptation of Brooklyn, directed by John Crowley based on a script by Toibin and Nick Hornby himself, won three Oscars. But Eilish's story did not let go of Toibin in any way — and so, for all his dislike of sequels ("It would be a disaster if Ulysses had a sequel..."), he returned to the beloved heroine. So, a quarter of a century has passed since the events of Brooklyn. Eilish is married to Italian Tony Fiorello, they have two teenage children; they live on Long Island as part of a large clan, next to the families of Tony's brothers and his parents. One day, an unknown Irishman appears on her doorstep and declares that his wife is pregnant with Tony's child and that he will not leave someone else's child at home, but will bring it to the Fiorello family under the door — let Tony and Eilish sort it out themselves. What Eilish decides to do—and what she won't do—will make Long Island ring with "the energy of unlived lives, repressed feelings..." (York Press). Read more…
