In 2009, Colm Tóibín's critically acclaimed novel Brooklyn introduced readers to Eilis Lacey, an Irish woman seeking a better life in New York. Now, he revisits this heroine in her forties, living a seemingly perfect life in Long Island, married with children and surrounded by her husband’s family. But when a surprise visit disrupts this fragile peace, her world is upended.
Tóibín, a three-time Booker Prize finalist, discusses this powerful new novel with Jason Steger, reflecting on his distinguished career and the themes of exile, belonging, desire and regret that have come to define his celebrated body of writing.
