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 findMegan Nolan, Telegraph
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.

Intensely moving and yet full of restraint, I was sad to turn the final pageDouglas Stuart, author of Shuggie Bain
