Long Island is Colm Tóibín’s masterpiece: an exquisite, exhilarating audiobook that asks whether it is possible to truly return to the past and renew the great love that seemed gone forever. The sequel to Colm Tóibín's prize-winning, bestselling novel Brooklyn.

A man with an Irish accent knocks on Eilis Fiorello’s door on Long Island and in that moment everything changes. Eilis and Tony have built a secure, happy life here since leaving Brooklyn - perhaps a little stifled by the in-laws so close, but twenty years married and with two children looking towards a good future.

And yet 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 marrying Tony all those years ago? Is it too late now to take a different path?

Fabulous! Great narrator, brilliant story telling.

I would have misgivings about the quality of actual writing.. and the ‘out of time’ depiction of life in Ireland during the period of the novel, also some turns of phrase which might not have been in use . After a disappointing reading of the physical novel, and a poor listening to an abridged version on radio, I turned to Jessie Buckley’s outstanding narration. Her interpretation, her voices, her ability to convey depth brought more authenticity to the characters than in my previous experiences. I would be eager to hear more of her audiobook narrations. Thank you for this one!

Definitely did not disappoint…. Jessie Buckley was fantastic narrating & bringing all the characters to life with their accents. Really enjoyed it. Didn’t want it to end.
