En un nou exercici de narrativa magistral de Colm Tóibín, ens reunim amb Eilis Lacey, l’heroïna dels seu gran èxit de vendes Brooklyn. Vint anys després dels fets, als anys setanta, Eilis està vivint amb el seu marit, Tony Fiorello, i els seus fills en una casa a Long Island, massa a prop dels seus sogres. Una notícia impactant impulsa Eilis de tornada a Irlanda, a un món que ella creia que feia molt de temps que havia deixat enrere i maneres de viure, i estimar, que creia haver perdut per sempre.

El gran escriptor irlandès situa una de les seves millors narracions al Pirineu català, en una història sobre la fredor, la distància i el dolor d’una família. A Un llarg hivern, Colm Tóibín mostra amb un control emocional impressionant l’expressió més eloqüent del vincle entre una mare i un fill. L’enyorança i la pèrdua que sent en Miquel cap a la seva mare s’entrellaça amb l’enyorança silenciosa que sent per un jove policia i per en Manolo, el servent.

Eilis Lacey es una chica de familia humilde. Como tantos otros, no encuentra trabajo en su pequeño pueblo del sur de Irlanda, de modo que, cuando se le ofrece una posibilidad en Estados Unidos, no duda en aprovecharla.
