From the New York Times bestselling author of Fleishman Is in
Trouble comes Long Island Compromise, a darkly exhilarating novel
about an American family and its inheritance - the safety and
wealth that they fought for, and the precarity of their survival
that is their legacy. In 1982, wealthy businessman Carl Fletcher is
kidnapped from his driveway in the nicest part of the nicest part
of Long Island. He is brutalised, held for ransom and then returned
to his family. Carl, his wife and his three kids all try to move on
with their lives, and resume their prized places in the ongoing
saga of the American dream. But nearly forty years later, when
Carl's mother dies, the trauma that has been bubbling beneath the
Fletchers' lives all this time surfaces at last. Finally, Carl
allows himself to acknowledge what happened to him all those years
ago, and face the question that's been idling in his mind for a
quarter of a century: where did the ransom go? And if he were ever
to find the money, would it finally give him and his family the
closure they've been yearning for? Long Island Compromise spans
generations, winding through decades of history all the way through
to the wild present, dealing along the way with all the mainstays
of American Jewish life. And through it all, it addresses timeless
questions about wealth, trauma, and the American soul. PRAISE FOR
FLEISHMAN IS IN TROUBLE: 'This is the novel of the summer . . .
There is no one that this book isn't for. I can't believe it's a
first novel. Pure brilliance' INDIA KNIGHT, THE SUNDAY TIMES 'Could
be one of the books of my entire lifetime. I've never felt so seen'
GRACE DENT, GUARDIAN 'Sharp and wicked, insightful and funny, and
then suddenly so touching' DAVID NICHOLLS 'This book is a work of
utter perfection' ELIZABETH GILBERT
