From the Sunday Times and 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
