根据科尔姆•托宾的《纽约时报》畅销小说改编的电影现在备受好评，获得了4个奥斯卡金像奖提名，包括**影片奖。小说讲述了20世纪50年代初生活在布鲁克林的一个年轻的爱尔兰移民的故事。

二战结束后的那几年生活非常艰难，Eilis Lacey在爱尔兰的一个小镇渐渐长大成人。当一个来自布鲁克林的爱尔兰牧师提出资助Eilis在美国的生活时，她觉得自己一定要去，将她脆弱的母亲和有魅力的妹妹留在家乡。

Eilis在富尔顿街的百货商店找到了工作，并在毫无预料的情况下找到了爱。喜欢道奇队和他那个庞大的意大利家庭用耐心慢慢赢得了她的爱。然而，就在Eilis开始坠入爱河式，爱尔兰传来一则令人震惊的消息，这则消息让她的未来变得暗淡起来。

Colm Tóibín’s New York Times bestselling novel—now an acclaimed film starring Saoirse Ronan and Jim Broadbent nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Picture—is “a moving, deeply satisfying read” (Entertainment Weekly) about a young Irish immigrant in Brooklyn in the early 1950s.

“One of the most unforgettable characters in contemporary literature” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette), Eilis Lacey has come of age in small-town Ireland in the hard years following World War Two. When an Irish priest from Brooklyn offers to sponsor Eilis in America, she decides she must go, leaving her fragile mother and her charismatic sister behind.

Eilis finds work in a department store on Fulton Street, and when she least expects it, finds love. Tony, who loves the Dodgers and his big Italian family, slowly wins her over with patient charm. But just as Eilis begins to fall in love, devastating news from Ireland threatens the promise of her future.

Author “Colm Tóibín…is his generation’s most gifted writer of love’s complicated, contradictory power” (Los Angeles Times). “Written with mesmerizing power and skill” (The Boston Globe), Brooklyn is a “triumph…One of those magically quiet novels that sneak up on readers and capture their imaginations” (USA TODAY).
