A NEW PRODUCTION NARRATED BY SAOIRSE RONAN, ACADEMY AWARD–NOMINATED STAR OF THE 2015 FILM ADAPTATION!

Colm Tóibín’s New York Times bestselling novel—also an acclaimed film starring Saoirse Ronan and Jim Broadbent nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Picture—is “a moving, deeply satisfying read” (Entertainment Weekly) 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.

Author “Colm Tóibín…is his generation’s most gifted writer of love’s complicated, contradictory power” (Los Angeles Times). “Written with mesmerizing power and skill” (The Boston Globe), Brooklyn is a “triumph…One of those magically quiet novels that sneak up on readers and capture their imaginations” (USA TODAY).

This was a nice story of the immigrant experience. I wouldn’t call it profound, but it was interesting, well read, and kept my attention throughout.

An interesting story that transported me to another place and time. Saoirse Ronan’s voice was perfect for this reading.

I’ve just re-listen to this story in order to better understand the book that follows, Long Island. It was wonderful to be reacquainted with these characters, but I was very disappointed in the change of character of both Tony and his mother-in-law back in Ireland. I found it strange that Eilish had not gone back to visit her mother in 25 years and also strange that they have not paid for her to come visit them in America. When we do meet Eilish’s mother again she does not resemble the gentle lady we found her to be in this book. l found her dramatic character change unbelievable and unsettling. I was also so disappointed in Tony, his family and how they treated Eilish. Finally, I have to say that unless there is going to be a third installation in the story of these characters, Long Island was unfulfilling in its lack of closure. If however there is definitely going to be a third book, I can forgive the author leaving so much to our imagination.
Brooklyn is a wonderful story and a delight to listen to.

Rememberable although, the ending was not expected and you were left guessing. The dates and times of the story were very good, I’d not recommend this book to everyone, it did hold my attention. My question is a chapter missing?

The genuineness of the story.

The book was a little slow moving and I would have preferred that it ended after she was reunited with Tony.

Colm Toibin's wonderful novel of a young Irish women's immigration to Brooklyn, New York is greatly enhanced by Soarise Ronan's superb narration in an engaging Irish accent.

Wonderful Story of Immigration.

Wow, this is written in such a pensive and descriptive manner. Yet it felt like the right amount of detail to convey the situations and characters. The narrator did great, especially switching between American and Irish accents, very smooth! It's interesting to read about earlier, but not so distant, times. The story is great, and I finished this book in 2.5 days. Though it did feel a bit abrupt and being left hanging at the end. Good news, there is a sequel, whew. Starting it right away.

Hard to pause

I like the historical perspective of that time in Brooklyn. There is still to this day, a sort of rivalry between the older generations of those immigrants. This story gave hint to that. I would have liked for the storyline regarding Miss Fortini To have been brought to some conclusion. Unfortunately, it was left hanging out there.

Excellent narration, Interesting Story
