Brooklyn by Colm Toibin



I truly liked and enjoyed this story, and the movie!  Not because it’s about Brooklyn, but it really isn’t.  It is a coming of age story of a young girl who is sent away from her family to have a better life for herself.  She has never been away from home and then to be sent to another country! 

In my opinion, she finds that home is where you make it.

In regards to the movie, I think they made the character of Eilis less shy than how she is portrayed in the book.
