About this product
Product Information
First published in hardcover to vigorous praise, Colm Toibin's New York Times bestselling novel is about a young Irish immigrant in Brooklyn in the early 1950s. "One of the most unforgettable characters in contemporary literature" ( Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ), Eilis Lacey has come of age in small-town Ireland in the hard years following World War Two. When an Irish priest from Brooklyn offers to sponsor Eilis in America, she decides she must go, leaving her fragile mother and her charismatic sister behind. Eilis finds work in a department store on Fulton Street, and when she least expects it, finds love. Tony, who loves the Dodgers and his big Italian family, slowly wins her over with patient charm. But just as Eilis begins to fall in love, devastating news from Ireland threatens the promise of her future.

Reviews
"[A] triumph... One of those magically quiet novels that sneak up on readers and capture their imaginations." -- USA Today, "A compelling characterization of a woman caught between two worlds... A fine and touching novel, persuasive proof of Toibin's ever-increasing skills and range."--Booklist(starred review), 'Reading Tóibín is like watching an artist paint one small stroke after another until suddenly the finished picture emerges to shattering effect'.Brooklynstands comparison with Henry James'sThe Portrait of a Lady.'—The Times Literary Supplement(U.K.), "A classical coming-of-age story, pure, unsensationalized, quietly profound… There are no antagonists in this novel, no psychodramas, no angst. There is only the sound of a young woman slowly and deliberately stepping into herself, learning to make and stand behind her choices, finding herself." - Pam Houston, O, the Oprah Magazine, "Reading Tóibín is like watching an artist paint one small stroke after another until suddenly the finished picture emerges to shattering effect." -- The Times Literary Supplement (U.K.), "Reading Toibin is like watching an artist paint one small stroke after another until suddenly the finished picture emerges to shattering effect."--The Times Literary Supplement(U.K.), "Tóibín ... [is] his generation's most gifted writer of love's complicated, contradictory power." -- Floyd Skoot, Los Angeles Times, "A beautifully rendered portrait of Brooklyn and provincial Ireland in the 1950s...

[is] his generation's most gifted writer of love's complicated, contradictory power." -- Floyd Skoot, Los Angeles Times, "Toibin's prose is as elegant in its simplicity as it is complex in the emotions it evokes."--The New York Times Magazine, "Colm Toibin leads a generation of Irish novelists... His generation's most gifted writer of love's complicated, contradictory power." --Los Angeles Times, "[A] triumph... One of those magically quiet novels that sneak up on readers and capture their imaginations." - USA Today, "Toibin's prose is as elegant in its simplicity as it is complex in the emotions it evokes." --The New York Times Magazine, Praise for Brooklyn "Written with mesmerizing power and skill." --Richard Eder, Boston Globe "Colm Tóibín ... [is] his generation's most gifted writer of love's complicated, contradictory power." --Floyd Skoot, Los Angeles Times "Tóibín creates suspense out of the simplest emotions: fear, love and, most poignantly, regret." -- Time "Eilis' universal struggles with matters of the heart ... make this novel ... a moving, deeply satisfying read." -- Entertainment Weekly "[A] gem of a novel... profound." --Maureen Corrigan, NPR "Quietly majestic." --Claire Messud, The New York Review of Books "[A] masterly tale... There is not a sentence or a thought out of place.... His finest fiction to date." --Bernard O'Donoghue, Irish Times "[A] triumph... One of those magically quiet novels that sneak up on readers and capture their imaginations." --USA Today, "Reading Tóibín is like watching an artist paint one small stroke after another until suddenly the finished picture emerges to shattering effect....
