Long Island (Eilis Lacey, #2)

Loved it!
I had not read Brooklyn, but last week I watched the movie and met Eilis, played by Saoirse Ronan.. it was a beautiful movie!
So.. at the end of Brooklyn, Eilis went back to Tony the Italian man she had married right before she went back to Ireland for a short time to see family. When she had been in Ireland she met Jim Farrell and they became very close, but� she was quite newly married and went back to New York
Eilis and Tony now married 20 yrs with two grown teenage children.. living in a cul-de-sac that includes all her in-laws family’s. Tony has broken Eilis’s heart with an infidelity that is complicated.
She returns to Ireland to get away and of course her story with Jim continues and it’s also very complicated.
I am leaving out the reasons for these complicated relationships because I want you to just read the book.
One downside�. it ends in a cliffhanger� boo�
Well� hope we don’t have to wait long for book 3.

Love to see your enthusiasm. I'll read it if I come across the audiobook, even though I haven't read Brooklyn, but I watched the adaptation.
Boo! To the cliffhanger, but a lovely review, Karen!

Oh no, a cliffhanger! I have a love/hate relationship with those.I will definitely get to this one, and I have promised myself to read Brooklyn first.

Wonderful review Karen. And, I am never a fan of cliffhangers...😳
Karen, I "liked" your review when you wrote it. At that time I hadnt started the book and am now in the middle of it. I have always loved this author and can see why you gave "Long Island"5 stars. I just had to tell you. :)
