About

2024 Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Best Historical Fiction

The story is set in Spring 1976. 

Eilis Lacey is now in her 40s, with two teenage children, and married to Tony Fiorello. She lives on Long Island with her imagined ideal of home split between Ireland (her heritage) and America (where she’s settled). One day, an Irishman comes to the door and claims that his wife is pregnant with Tony’s child. He intends to leave that child — when born — on Eilis's doorstep. This revelation throws Eilis into a turmoil of decisions—what to do, what she refuses to do, how to respond. Her past and obligations, identity and moral boundaries are tested.
