SUMMARY:Irish Connoisseur's Irish Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Brooklyn\n\nby Colm Toibin\n\n\n\n"A classical coming of age story\, pure\, unsensationalized\, quietly profound\, Eilis Lacey\, unable to find suitable employment in small-town\, post-World War II Ireland\, ships off to Brooklyn for the promise of a job in a clothing shop\, a room in an Irish-Only boarding house\, and the part-time friendship of her sponsor\, the charismatic and persuasive Father Flood. In America Eilis discovers all manner of things unimaginable to those she leaves behind in Enniscorthy: Coney Island\, Ebbets Field\, heat that stays on all night in winter\, and soul-wrenching homesickness she can scarcely shake off. \n\n\n\n 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 able to withstand hardship (a storm at sea or the death of a loved one)\, growing into the wisdom that fate will render all our choices irrelevant in the end." \n\n\n\n- Pam Houston
