"Eilis Lacey is Irish\, married to Tony Fi orello\, a plumber and one of four Italian American brothers\, all of whom live in neighboring houses on a cul-de-sac in Lindenhurst\, \;Long&nb sp\;Island\, with their wives and children and Tony's parents\, a huge ext ended family that lives and works\, eats and plays together. It is the spr ing of 1976 and Eilis\, now in her forties with two teenage children\, has no one to rely on in this still-new country. Though her ties to Ireland r emain stronger than those that hold her to her new land and home\, she has not returned in decades. One day\, when Tony is at his job and Eilis is i n her home office doing her accounting\, an Irishman comes to the door ask ing for her by name. He tells her that his wife is pregnant with Tony's ch ild and that when the baby is born\, he will not raise it but instead depo sit it on Eilis's doorstep. It is what Eilis does -- and what she refuses to do -- in response to this stunning news that makes ToÌbiÌn's nove l so riveting."-- Provided by publisher.
