Brooklyn

<i>Brooklyn</i> is the moving portrait of a young woman caught between two places: her new life in New York and her home in Enniscorthy, Ireland. Colm Tóibín is one of the great contemporary literary novelists, and this is the first illustrated edition of his most beloved work. A tender story of love, family and belonging, it captures the ache of leaving home and the challenge of making a life elsewhere.<br><br> This Folio book is illustrated by Sally Dunne, whose five beautifully detailed full-page artworks chronicle Eilis Lacey's journey from the docks before she sets sail for Ellis Island to her first dance with Tony at the parish hall in Brooklyn. It also includes a wonderful new introduction by the author, reflecting on how he came to write the novel almost twenty years ago.
