Reader reviews for Brooklyn
Review summary
Readers described Colm Tóibín’s Brooklyn as a quiet, understated immigrant coming-of-age novel whose simple, lucid prose and patient pacing build to a surprisingly forceful final act. Many admired its evocative portrait of 1950s Ireland and New York, the ache of homesickness, and the moral ambiguity of Eilis’s life-defining choice; others were frustrated by the heroine’s passivity, the lack of overt conflict, and an ending some found abrupt. The film adaptation drew frequent mention, with several noting it captures the book’s spirit while tidying the conclusion.
