For the first time in Russian — the freshest novel by modern classic Colm Toibin, a titan of Irish and world literature, winner of numerous prestigious awards, multiple Booker finalist, author of international bestsellers such as "The Magician" and "The... Master". Fifteen years ago, his novel "Brooklyn" — a quiet odyssey of young Irishwoman Eilis Lacey, who left her native Enniscorthy for New York — stole the hearts of readers worldwide, and the film adaptation of "Brooklyn," directed by John Crowley based on a screenplay by Toibin and Nick Hornby, won three Oscars. But the story of Eilis never really let Toibin go — and so, despite his dislike for sequels ("It would be a disaster if 'Ulysses' had a sequel..."). he returned to the beloved heroine. So, a quarter of a century has passed since the events of "Brooklyn". Eilis is married to Italian Tony Fiorello, they have two teenage children; they live on Long Island as part of a large clan, alongside Tony's brothers and his parents. One day, an unfamiliar Irishman appears at her doorstep and claims that his wife is pregnant by Tony and that he will not leave the foreign child at home but will deliver him to the Fiorello family — let Tony and Eilis deal with it themselves. What Eilis will dare to do — and what she will not — will make "Long Island" resonate with "the energy of un-lived lives, suppressed feelings..." (York Press).
