This book tells the story of a young woman, Eilis, soon after WWII in Ireland. They story begins as Eilis has grown into a woman and is at a crossroads in life. When a priest offers to sponsor her to go to America, Eilis decides to go, leaving here sister and mother behind. Most of the book takes place in Brooklyn. Eilis gets a job and struggles to find her way in a new place. She also finds love. The books was slow at times, but then when the book ended, I wasn't ready for it to be over. The ending was a little abrupt and had me wanting to know more. It was a nice story and a really quick read- only 270 pages.
