A review by irishlassofcork
Brooklyn by Colm Tóibín

3.0

I would give this a 3.5 star rating if possible. I found it hard to get through the early days in Eilis' new life in Brooklyn, but once she found Tony and started taking courses, it picked up. The story felt very realistic and it was interesting to see a young immigrant's perspective on Brooklyn during that time (and didn't try to sound like a travel brochure).
