About this Event

Join us for an afternoon signing with one of the world's finest writers, Colm Tóibín . Colm's latest, Long Island, is the sequel to the prize-winning, bestselling novel Brooklyn.
Please note that the book and ticket option entitles you to queue priority and one copy of Long Island to be collected upon arrival at the store. Free ticket purchase is not necessary but we highly advise booking one to guarantee your place in the queue, to avoid disappointment.

In Colm Tóibín 's masterful new novel, we are reunited with Eilis Lacey, the heroine of Brooklyn, twenty years on, in the 1970s, living with her husband, Tony Fiorello, and her children in a house in Long Island, rather too close to her Fiorello in-laws. A shocking piece of news propels Eilis back to Ireland, to a world she thought she had long left behind and to ways of living, and loving, she thought she had lost.
