Colm Tóibín is one of the major figures of contemporary Irish literature, a subtle and diverse writer whose books have been repeatedly shortlisted for the Booker and honored with significant literary awards. For "Brooklyn", a quiet story of a young woman and her search for herself, where feelings bubble in the depths and surface only ripples, hints, reticence, the author received the Costa Prize, and in 2015 John Crowley screened this novel from a screenplay co-written by Toibin and Nick Hornby. The heroine of "Brooklyn" Eilish in search of a job and a change of fortune goes from her native Enniscorthy, where everything is so familiar and cozy, in a strange unfamiliar New York. There she suffers from nostalgia, searches for her place in a new country, meets love, makes difficult decisions and is already settling in when sad family news calls her back to Ireland. All immigrant stories are seemingly similar, but never repeat each other. "Brooklyn" is a minor odyssey where there are no particular passions, but everything is imbued with feelings, piercing and compelling, the story of one young woman's wandering back and forth, from Enniscorthy to Brooklyn and back to Enniscorthy again - in search of herself, her independence, her place, but ultimately her home, from which it is impossible to escape and to which it is impossible to return.
