BookBar BookClub: Long Island with Colm Tóibín

Sign up, receive your book in advance of the book club with plenty of time to read it, send in the questions and discussion points you'd like us to talk about, and join a vitual interview with the author, in which we'll discuss the book.
 
June's BookBar BookClub author is with Colm Tóibín discussing their latest novel, Long Island.
 
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?
 
Read a paperback copy of Long Island and and join us for a virtual interview with the author, Colm Tóibín, on Tuesday 24th June at 7pm.
