Maine Irish Reads

“Long Island”

Next Meeting 3/13 at 7:30 PM

“Long Island” by Colm Tóibín is a novel that explores the lives of Irish immigrants in America, focusing on their struggles, dreams, and sense of identity. Set primarily on Long Island, the story delves into themes of displacement, cultural adaptation, and the search for belonging, all told with Tóibín’s signature lyrical prose and deep empathy for his characters.
