Reviews

Long Island is the best new novel I’ve read in years – and it’s as persuasive an argument in defence of the unique capability of the novel form as you could ever hope to find
You don't have to have read Brooklyn to enjoy the many pleasures of Long Island. It is a masterful novel full of longing and regret. A tale of lovers reconnecting, of compromise, and the settling that can come later in life. Intensely moving and yet full of restraint, I was sad to turn the final page
A brilliant novel . . . it is beautifully crafted and makes for a riveting, wonderful read
Heartbreak, wistfulness, cracking dialogue . . . This is Tóibín at his best
