Long Island Compromise

Viac o knihe

In 1980, in affluent Long Island, Carl Fletcher is kidnapped outside his home. Shortly after, following the payment of a hefty ransom, he is released, and the family attempts to move on from the incident. However, when they reunite forty years later for a celebration, it becomes evident that the long-ago abduction has left unexpected marks—not only on Carl but on the entire family. The repercussions manifest in both disturbing and hilariously amusing ways. This expansive Jewish-American family saga spans decades and reads like a classic, characterized by linguistic virtuosity, keen observation, and a sharp sense of humor.
