There was a book talk about the story Brooklyn on 23 March. In 2015, the book became a movie. The book talk was run by sophomore Macey Ford.
The book is written by Colm Toibin. The book is a story about a young girl from Ireland named Eilis who goes to America to work in a store with her older sister Rose. When Eilis arrives, she makes some changes in her life and falls in love with an Italian-American named Tony.
The only one that knew about her relationship was her sister Rose. Things seem great for Eilis until tragedy strikes when she gets word about her sister’s sudden death.
As soon as she is about to leave, Tony proposes to her and the two quickly get married before she returns home.
While back in Ireland with her mother, Eilis goes out with one of her best friends and ends up seeing Jim Farrell, whom she knew from school.
The two become really close, causing a problem for Eilis: does she tell the truth to her mother about her marriage to Tony or will she stay in Ireland and be with Jim?
This is a great book and it will leave the reader guessing in the end.
