| | | Colm Tóibín: Long Island | | | | | | Join the bestselling author, Colm Tóibín, live in London or online, as he introduces us to Long Island, the long-awaited sequel to his modern masterpiece, Brooklyn.
Brooklyn is the story of Eilis Lacey, a young Irishwoman emigrating to the United States soon after the second world war. In this richly imagined sequel, we're reunited with her, 20 years later. It’s the 1970s, and Eilis has built a secure life with her husband and two children. But when a stranger from Ireland brings a shocking piece of news, she starts questioning the life she has created. Has she made the right choices? Is it too late to take a different path?
Don’t miss the chance to hear Tóibín talk about this new tale of emigration, loss and alternative lives, and why he has returned to Eilis's story. | | Thursday 23 May 2024, 7pm–8.30pm BST | | Book tickets |
