A review by jrd_reads
Long Island by Colm Tóibín

3.0

This was a bit of a heartbreaker. In looking at my review of Brooklyn, I thought Eilis made the right choice in returning the the US and remaining committed to Tony. It seems that she leads a happy, if somewhat lonely life and then is betrayed by her husband and shut out by his family. In returning to Ireland for a visit, it's like seeing the path not taken and her love for Jim remains. Jim seems to have floated alone, he appears to be someone who goes with what he is told to do right down to the end. The novel is left open-ended.

The audio version is great with both the Irish and Long Island accents.
