Live-streamed to Bendigo Library on our big screen.
Returning to Brooklyn in a long-awaited sequel.
Colm Tóibín returns to the world of Brooklyn – adapted into a BAFTA- and Oscar nominated film starring Saoirse Ronan – with the long-awaited sequel, Long Island.
Set 20 years after Rose Lacey’s death, Long Island follows Eilis Lacey after an unknown Irishman unexpectedly brings a baby into her family’s midst. Full of longing and regret, the book exhibits the hallmarks of a master storyteller’s restraint and Colm’s customary wit.
In conversation with Kate Evans (ABC Radio National’s The Bookshelf), Colm discusses his latest portrait of the people of picturesque Enniscorthy, which is being heralded as his best work yet.
Colm Tóibín appears thanks to the support of Rosie Williams and John Grill AO.
Supported by the Consulate General of Ireland and Culture Ireland.
Please note: This is a live-streamed event. No presenters will be at Bendigo Library.
