Another great vacation read. This is the story of Eilis, a young Irish woman in post WWII Europe who finds herself transported to a new life in Brooklyn NY. She finds success and happiness in America until family circumstances take her home again.
Sweet, well written and Toibin's prose style reminds me of Betty Smith's - simple yet engaging.
Chris at work has entertained us immensely over the last weeks with her impressions of the fictional Eilis - hilarious! Some people may agree with Chris who absolutely hates the somewhat surprising ending to this story.
