ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Long Island” by Colm Tóibín follows the life of Eilis Lacey, an Irish immigrant living in Long Island, New York, during the 1970s. Married to Tony, an Italian-American plumber, Eilis faces emotional turmoil when she learns that her husband has fathered a child with another woman. The novel explores themes of identity, belonging, and the immigrant experience, as Eilis grapples with her loyalty to her family and her desire for personal fulfillment. The story delves into the complexities of marriage, betrayal, and the emotional cost of keeping secrets within a tightly-knit community.
