In 1980, a wealthy businessman named Carl Fletcher is kidnapped from his driveway, brutalised and held for ransom. He is returned to his wife, kids and exquisite Long Island home less than a week later, and the family moves on with their gilded lives. But now, nearly forty years later, it seems that nobody ever got over anything, after all. With a death in the family, the hidden struggles of the Fletchers come bubbling to the surface. Carl has spent years secretly seeking closure to the mystery of his kidnapping, while his wife, Ruth, has given up everything to protect her husband's fragile emotional health and keep the business thriving. Their three grown children aren't doing much better: Nathan's chronic existential fear won't allow him to advance at his law fi rm; Beamer, a failing Hollywood screenwriter, will consume anything - substances, food, women - at any cost; and Jenny, with her brilliant mind, is desperate to prove she is not anything like her family by working in trade unions (whilst still receiving quarterly payouts from the family business). Money was what put the Fletchers in danger, but it has also protected them - until now. 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 the timeless questions about wealth, trauma, and the American soul.

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Fleishman Is in Trouble comes a darkly exhilarating novel about an American family's legacy of safety and wealth, and the precariousness of their survival. In 1980, Carl Fletcher, a wealthy businessman, is kidnapped from his Long Island driveway, brutalized, and held for ransom before being returned to his family. Miraculously, they move on, resuming their roles in the American dream. However, nearly forty years later, Carl's mother's death brings long-simmering trauma to the surface. It becomes clear that Carl has been quietly seeking closure regarding his kidnapping, forcing his wife and children to confront the harsh truth that their wealth never guaranteed their safety. This novel spans generations, weaving through decades of history and exploring themes of American Jewish life, wealth, trauma, and the essence of the American soul. Praised for its elegance and depth, it has been described as "shocking, tender, profound and delicious" by Emily Maitlis, and "lavishly comic" by The Times. Critics hail it as a substantive and profound work, blending enjoyment with greatness, making it a must-read for the year.
