About this product

Product Information

Colm T ib n's New York Times bestselling novel--now 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 T ib n...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 ).

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!

  • Book vs Movie.

    I finished reading the book in short order. This may be because I already saw the movie version. The book and movie plots are the same. However, the movie adaptation of the story is a little bit different. The book has some additional characters and situations. I liked the movie so much, I couldn't wait to read the book. I would have to rate the movie higher than the book version. This may be due to the excellent performance of the actors. Also, I liked the ending in the movie better than the book ending. The movie version gives the viewers the sights, sounds and scenery of the years it all took place. The facial expressions of the actors, and the tone of their voice can not be duplicated in the book. The movie is rated PG 13 This is an appropriate rating for this movie ...
