About this item
In Long Island Compromise, the New York Times bestselling author of Fleishman Is in Trouble delivers a gripping saga that unravels the veneer of an American family's suburban paradise. In 1980, Carl Fletcher, a wealthy businessman, is violently kidnapped from his driveway, triggering a chain of events that leaves scars across generations.

Initially returned safely, Carl and his wife, Ruth, strive to resume their lives amid the comforts of the American dream. Yet, the trauma of the kidnapping festers beneath the surface. Carl seeks closure in secret, while Ruth dedicates herself to protecting his emotional well-being. Their three grown children—Nathan, consumed by fear and stagnation in his legal career; Beamer, a Hollywood screenwriter numbing his anxiety with excess; and Jenny, determined to defy her family's legacy—struggle with their own demons.

As the narrative unfolds across decades, the family confronts a dwindling fortune and profound questions about the role of wealth in their successes and failures. Themes of Jewish identity, tradition, ambition, and the weight of history weave through their lives, confronting them with existential dilemmas and the enduring bonds that hold them together.

Long Island Compromise is a rich tapestry of humor, social satire, and deep emotional resonance. It explores the complexities of generational trauma and inheritance, offering a poignant commentary on the intersections of wealth, privilege, and personal identity in contemporary American life. With wit and insight, the novel navigates the labyrinthine paths of family dynamics, revealing the resilience and fragility that define their shared journey through time.
