    Colm Toibin's post-WWII novel is about a young woman who lives in a small town in Ireland and is given an opportunity to broaden her horizons when a priest offers her a sponsorship to live in America. Tobin's sparse use of narrative and limited omniscient perspective lends to the isolation that Eilis Lacey, the story's protagonist, feels as she begins a new life in Brooklyn, New York. The supporting characters give the reader a sense of the extended (Irish) community, a boarding house run by an Irishwoman, that allows Eilis to integrate into American life. Eilis slowly comes into maturity when she meets a man outside of her cultural base and her personal challenge is to either remain in America or return to Ireland to care for her elderly mother. There is something to get out of this novel ...

  • Brooklyn - I suppose this city will be the main setting for the story, but since I have not read more than 75 pages, time will tell!

    I've just begun reading BROOKYLN and am intrigued to continue. Tobin's style of writing makes it easy to follow the plot and the main character is becoming more & more interesting.

  • This book came to me a lot rougher than expected. Described as GOOD. Should have been BARELY ACCEPTABLE.
