Current Fiction Book Group with Claudia Cayne In-Person
Led by Claudia Cayne, this informal group meets on the second Saturday of each month (unless otherwise noted) at 4:00 PM in the Reading Room.
Claudia's selection for this month is Long Island, by Colm Toibin.
One day, when Tony is at his job and Eilis is in her home office doing her accounting, an Irishman comes to the door asking for her by name. He tells her that his wife is pregnant with Tony’s child and that when the baby is born, he will not raise it but instead deposit it on Eilis’s doorstep. It is what Eilis does—and what she refuses to do—in response to this stunning news that makes Tóibín’s novel so riveting.
Long Island is an Oprah's Book Club Pick and a Time Magazine, New Yorker, and Washington Post best book of 2024 by several publications, including
Registration is not required.
