Brooklyn: A Novel (Eilis Lacey Series)

New York Times Bestseller & Academy Award–nominated Film

In Brooklyn, Colm Tóibín tells the moving story of Eilis Lacey, a young Irish woman who leaves her small-town life in postwar Ireland for a new beginning in 1950s Brooklyn.

There, she finds work, independence, and unexpected love with Tony, a kind Italian American. But when tragedy calls her home, Eilis must choose between duty and desire—between the life she left behind and the one she’s built in America.

A beautifully written tale of love, identity, and the courage to forge one’s own path, Brooklyn is “mesmerizing and deeply satisfying” (Entertainment Weekly).
