Hauntingly beautiful and heartbreaking, Colm Tóibín's sixth novel, Brooklyn, is set between Ireland and New York City in the early 1950s, when one young woman crosses the ocean to make a new life for herself . . .
A novel of devastating power, Tóibín demonstrates with Brooklyn his astonishing range as a true master of nuanced prose, emotional depth, and narrative virtuosity.
"Reading Tóibín is like watching an artist paint one small stroke after another until suddenly the finished picture emerges to shattering effect, Brooklyn is Colm Tóibín's most beautifully executed novel to date." -- Times Literary Supplement
