by Colm Toibin
The story of an Irish girl, Eilis who in the 1950's is encouraged to emigrate to New York by her sister.
The story of her preparation for this upheaval and her arrival and setting in New York I really enjoyed. The story of her return visit to Ireland seemed a bit less believable to me and so lost a bit of the edge that occupied the earlier sections. Having said that the ending was interesting. I will read the sequel at some point. 7/10
